Scales 1 to IJin. deep and 2 to 2|in. broad, the transverse line often developed 

 into a thin wing, with only a minute central point to those in the lower part of 

 the cone, then gradually increasing in length to nearly |in. long in the upper 

 part ; immediately below this point is a prominent depression. Seeds covered 

 "with a reddish integument about IJin. long. — Enccplialartos Doiujlusii, F. v. M.

 pungent-pointed approximate pinnre. Pinnae about 50 on each side of the 

 rhachis, attached to the edge of the flattish upper surface, about 12in. long and

 abbreviated, all finely nerved. Scapes IJ to 2ft. high. Male cone cylindrical, 

 about 12in. long and 2 to 2|in. in diameter, the scales about from 3 to 5 lines 

 across the top, with an erect central point about 5 lines long on those of the

 to 3ft. long with a diameter of about 12in. Scales 2 to 2| inches across the top, 

 the transverse ridge almost wing-like and forming in the centre a lanceolate erect

8. IVE. Senisonii (after Sir William Denison), C. Moore et F. v. M- 

 Stems 18 to 20ft. high and about 18in. in diameter. Leaves having a more 

 reddish purple hue than others of the genus, 7 to 10 feet long, angular at the 

 base, and more or less tomentose. Pinnae 8 to 18in. long and about Jin. 

 broad below the middle, the parallel veins rather obscure, slightly contracted 

 at the base, anA inserted longitudinally along the centre of the upper 

 surface of the rhachis. Male cones 10 to 15in. long, 4 to Gin. in diameter; the 

 apex of the scales 1 to l^in. broad, very thick, and produced into a short, 

 triangular, or lanceolate almost obtuse point. Female cones 1-|- to 2ft. long, 

 conical, 1ft. in diameter at the base,, 6 inches at the top; scales shorter and 

 broader than in the males, the apex tonientose-pubescent, but often 2in. broad,
