Beccari and Rock — Pritchardia. yy 



T have seen, in the BerHn Herbarium, a few leaves of a palm, labelled with 

 this name by H. Wendland, but differing somewhat from those of anv other 

 Pritchardia known to me, in the ligula terminating the petiole, which is transverse, 

 or nearly horizontal, unequally lobate, and produced at the sides to sustain the outer 

 most segments ; also the blade has the base broadly cuneate ; otherwise it is 

 very similar to that of the generality of Pritchardias ; its lower surface is 

 sprinkled with small prominent subglandiform, pluricellular, yellowish bodies. I 

 do not know the place of origin of this palm.
