PERIACANTHUS, this gi-aceful Palm, a native of Java, hears a general reseinhlanee to 
D. pahmbaniciis. It differs, however, in having a greater abundance of spines, which group 
themselves in irregular rings round 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 5s., 7s. id. and 10s. id. 
PLUMOSUS, this graceful Palm is exceedingly handsome, either in a small or large size. Its 
leaves are of a rich dark green, and remarkably plume-like, hence its name. It is unquestion- 
ably one of the most elegant of tire Palm family, and beiirg of compact growth, is admirably 
adapted for vases and table decoration 10s. 6<i. and 16s. 
DBSMONCUS GRANATENSIS, the species of this gcmrs of Palms are. peculiarly distinct in 
their appearance, having a pair of divergent leaflets at the top of the petiole, lit the young 
plants of this species the petioles are terete and spineless, except at the top, where they bear a 
few seta;, and where are also seated a pair of lanceolate divergerrt pinna;, nearly two inches broad, 
and of a lively green colour. It has been imported front Colombia. 15s. and 1 guinea

* ENCEPHALARTOS ALTENSTEINII 
* BRAOHYPHYLLUS 
* OAPERA 
* (Zamia) OYOAD.fflPOLroS 
* PRIDERICI-GUILIELMI, this is a very distinct-looking South African species ; the leave.s 
are oblong-obtuse, arching, and oonduplicato ; the petiole and racliis arc 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 Dioon cdule 
and Ci/cas rciioluta price on application. 
* GHELLINCKII (gracilis) 
* HILDEBRANDII, this Cycadaceous plant has been introduced from Eastern Africa. The 
leaves are particularly bold looking, with spiny edges, tlie 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, 
there being often as many as six or eight crowded around the apex, and five or six distributed 
along each side price on .application. 
* HORRIDUS 
* MULTIPLEXUS 
* (Zamia) LEHMANNI 
* GLAUCUS 
* SPINOSUS 
* (Zamia) VILLOSUS, a noble greenhouse Cycad, with a stout trunk or caudex, supporting a head 
of erect pinnate fronds, the stout rachis of which is densely clothed with cottony wool ; the 
pinna; or segments number from eighty to ninety on each side, and arc n.arrowly elliptic-linear. 
It has been found in, and introduced from, the interior of South Africa. 3, 4 and 5 guineas 
* AMPLIATUS, a magnificent greenhouse Cycad, imported from South Africa. It has a 
stout cylindrical stem, and grandly arching leaves, which are pinnatcly divided ; the i)iuna! 
are lanceolate, distinctly serrate, the teeth being more numerous towards the tip of the 
pinn.o;. The b.ase of the petiole is thickly clothed with woolly hairs. 0, 8 and 10 guineas. 
* — DENTICULATUS 
* GRACILIS 
* (Zamia) VROOMII, one of the noblest of this very noble group of plants ; the leaf segments 
are alternate below, opposite above, forty to fifty in number on each side of the rachis, which 
latter is marked with a prominent rounded ridge in the centre ; they are oblong lanceolate, 
spine-pointed, with a variable number of long spine-pointed teeth at the margins, and of a 
bright shining green colour, rather paler on the under surface 4 and 5 guineas
