Kentiopsis macrocarpa and Kcntia Lindeni. It is a noble jdant, of vigorous habit, with a stout 
smooth stem, furnished with bold pinnate leaves which in the young state are ovate in outline 
and spreading, and are suiiported on stout purplish red leaf-stalks ; the pinnie or segments of 
the leaves are rather distant and oblong-lanceolate. The young leaves arc of a deep) olive

PERIACANTHTTS, this graceful Palm, a native of Java, bears a general resemblance to 
Z>. palcmlanicns. 1 1 differs, however, in having a greater abundance of splines, which group) 
themselves in irregular rings around the petiole, a circumstance which has doubtless suggested 
the name ; it differs also in the young leaves being almost straw coloured instead of cinnamon 
coloured 7 ,. 6<7., 10s. 6d. and 15s.

leaves are of a rich dark green, and rem.arkably plume-like, hence its name. It is uncpuestionably

for vases and table decoration 10s. 6d. and 15s.
