' PERIACANTHUS, this graceful Palm, a native ol .Java, hears a general resemhlancc to 
J). palcTnftajrrcMS. It diflers, however, in having a greater abundance of spines, which group 
themselves in irregular rings round the petiole, a circmn-stancc which has doubtless suggested 
the name ; it differs also i]i the young leaves being almost straw-coloured instead of cinnamon- 
coloured 7s. 6d. and 10s. 6d. 
PLUMOSUS, this graceful Palm is e.xceedingly handsome, either in a small or large size. Its 
leaves are of a rich dark green, and remarkably plume-like, hence its naiuc. It is umiuestion- 
ably one of the most elegant of the Palm family', and being of (compact gi'owth is admirably 
adapted for vases and table decoration 10s. 6d. and 15s.

•ENCEPHALARTOS ALTENSTEINII ° 
* BRACE YPHYLLUS '. 
* CAFFBA 
* (Zamia) CYCAD^FOLIUS 
* FRIDEBICI-GUILIELMI, this is a very distinct-looking South Afiican species ; the leaves 
are oblong-obtuse, arching, and conduplicate ; the petiole and raohis are terete and somewhat 
flattened on the upper surface, destitute of spines but covered with woolly down, the segments 
closely crowded, nearly opposite, linear-oblong, and of glaucous hue. At first sight this 
distinct Cycad would give the impression of being an intermediate species between Divo 7 i edulc 
and Cycas revohita 
* GHELLINCKIl (grracllis) 
* HILDEBBANDII, this Cycadaceous plant has been introduced from Eastern Afiica. The 
leaves are particularly bold looking, with spiny edges, the stipes being leafy to the base, and 
there clothed with close cob-webby hairs. The leaf-blade is lanceolate, with numerous pairs 
of pinna; or lobes, the lower pairs diminishing into trifid scales half an inch long ; the 
larger segments are lanceolate, with distinct marginal and stronger and more crowded terminal 
teeth 
* HOBRIDUS 
* MULTIFLEXUS 
* (Zamia) LEHMANNI 
* ( ) GLAUCUS 
* ( ) SPINOSUS 
* ( ) VILLOSUS, a noble grce.nhouse Cycad, with a stout trunk or caude.x, supporting a 
head of erect pinnate fronds, the stout raohis of which is densely clothed with cottony wool ; 
the pinna: or segments number from eighty to ninety on each side, and are narrowly elliptic- 
linear. It has been found in, and introduced from, the interior of South Africa. 
* ( ) AMPLIATUS, a magnificent greenhouse Cycad, imported from South Africa. It 
has a stout cylindrical stem, and grandly arching lcavc.s, which are pinnately divided ; the 
pinnie are lanceolate, distinctly serrate, the teeth being more numerous toward the tip of the 
pinnie. The base of the petiole is thickly clothed with woolly hairs.
