OREODOXA GRANATENSIS, a very ornamental pinnate-leaved Palm, introduced by one of my 
collectors from the United States of Colombia. The stem is smooth, and the leaf pinnate,

■ RUPICOLA, this is one of the most ex(iuisitely graceful amongst the smaller Palms, and in 
elegance takes a similar place among Phcjcnices to that of Cocos VVeddeliana among Coeoses. 
It is of acaulescent habit, with wide spreading arching pinnate leaves, broadly lance-shaped 
in outline, with long narrow pinme, the lower of whieli become gradually reduced to spines.

GRANDIS. As a new introduction, scarcely any plant has mstde a greater sensation than this 
remarkable Palm. When exhibited by Mr. W. B. at the International Horticultural E.xhibi- 
tion, held at Brussels in 1876, it won the First Prize for a New Palm not in commerce. At 
tiro same time another specimen was also shown in the six New Plants with which Mr. AV. B. 
gained the First Prize. Again at the International Horticultnral Exhibition, held at Ghent 
in 1878, it was one of the twelve New Plants with which Mr. W. B. won the First Prize. 
It was discovered in the South Sea Islands by one of Mr. W. B ’a Plant Collectors, and takes 
rank amongst the most distinct and attractive Palms ever introduced. Of robust compact 
habit, producing large handsome leaves, which are nearly orbicular in general outline, witli a 
wedge-shape somewhat truncate base ; the venation is palmate, and the margin for the 
greater part of the circumference is divided into narrow oblong lobes, each of which is slightly 
notched. The leaves are originally flat, but become convex above as they grow older ; they 
are of a dark shining green colour above, paler beneath, and the surface is quite destitute of 
pubescence 4 and 5 guineas.

elegans. A most useful conservatory or cool greenhouse plant, as it will stand a low tempera- 
ture with impunity, and possesses a highly decorative character ; scarcely anything can equal
