 Seeds of this spiny-stemmed palm from the Seychelles Isla^ids were received under 

 the name Phoenicophorium sechellarum Wendl. (Illustration Horticole, vol. 12, Miscel., 

 p. 5, 1865). The earliest name given this species, however, was Astrocaryum bor- 

 sigianum Koch, which specific name is here adopted. The name Stevensonia grandi- 

 folia Duncan used in the Index Kewensis, although there cited as appearing in Flore 

 des Serres, volume 15, page 177, 1862-63, really appeared in April, 1865, as shown 

 in the text, and Wendland's name is cited in the sjTionymy under this name.
