Frequently in very moist forests in the eastern parishes at 2,000- 

 4,000ft. alt., marked by its interruptedly winged rachis, and the absence 

 of a terminal pinna. Sometimes a pinna appears to be terminal, but 

 it is always at the side of the terminal bud. The name seems to be 

 founded on Plumier t. 109, which is true D. sten(yphylla, Kz. Both 

 names are so characteristically applicable to the respective species that 

 it seems a pity to disturb them now.
