188 TODEA AFRICANA. 



In all but the upper pinnre, the segments are divided quite 

 to the decurrent belt, which runs along the midrib; in the upper 

 portion of the frond this is not the case. Margin serrated. 

 Apex attenuated. 



Rachis and stipes very long, smooth, and stout, rising from 

 an elevated crown. 



Length of frond from three to six feet; colour deep green. 



For a plant my thanks are given to M. Schott, Director of 

 the Imperial Gardens of Schonbriinn; and for fronds to Mr. J. 

 Smith, Curator of the Royal Gardens, Kew; Mr. G. Norman, 

 of Hull; and Mr. Henderson, of Wentworth. 



It may be procured of Messrs. Rollisson, of Tooting; Veitch, 

 of Chelsea; Sim, of Foot's Cray; Kennedy, of Co vent Garden; 

 Cooling, of Derby; and Booth, of Hamburg. 



The illustration is from Mr. J. Smith's fronds.
