 margine scabra. Amenta mascula pedicellata. Antlierarmn crista plana, reniformis, dentato-lacera. 



The specimen represented in this plate is in the Banksian Herbarium, having been brought by- 

 Mr. Francis Masson from the Cape of Good Hope, where it was raised from seeds which had been 



sent from China. 



This is a very distinct species from Dr. Eoxburgh's P. longifolia, specimens of which, and his 

 description, I have lately obtained. ' I have not been able to obtain any fruit of P. Massoniana, nor any 

 further information. - ..;..'
