CYCAS NORMANBYANA. 
A handsome addition to this ornamental class of greenhouse plants. The leaves have a dorsally 
compressed petiole, with both faces angular, and the base clothed with furfuraceous down. The 
lamina is oblong ovate, with a prominent ridge continued up the face of the furfuraceous rachis, the 
segments numerous, contiguous, linear, about six inches long, and a quarter of an inch wide, very- 
sharp pointed, almost spiny, slightly narrowed and decurrent at the base, the mid-rib strongly developed 
both on the glabrous upper and furfuraceous under surface. Mr. W. B. has received a large importa- 
tion of this new Cycad from New South Wales. The name has been given to it by the celebrated 
botanist Dr. Mueller. 10s. 6 cl., 15s. and 1 guinea.
