lance-shaped in outline, with long narrow pinna:, the lower of which become gradu.ally 
reduced to spines. The pinna* are channelled at the base, and appear to be attached by the 
folded base which joins on to the winged raehis, the wings being pressed together along the 
spaces between the pinna: and continued into the lamina. Some of the lower pinna: and 
spines are sot out in contiguous pairs. It comes from India, and is a most valuable
