Of this beautiful species a plant dug up and potted by Mr. H 
flowered with me at the end of August, 1882, and I have ‘unaladla 
drawn up the above character from it, as ail as from the dried 
wild aentiaehe, which have much longer many-flowered peduncles. 
t is well distinguished by its stout caren: stem, only 24 
inches high in the living specimen now before me, which sends out 
leaf-shoots just in the manner of Cycas sain Thunb. Iti we; t 
think, most nearly allied to C. sinensis Lindl.
