MACROCARP A, this remarkable new Caledonian Palm is also known under the names of 
Kentiopsis macrocarpa and Kmtia Lindervi. It is a noble plant, of vigorous habit, with a stout 
smooth stem, furnished with bold pinnate leaves which in the young state are ovate in outline 
and spreading, and are supported on stout purplish red leaf-stalks ; the pinnie or segments of 
the leaves are rather distant and oblong-lanceolate. The young leaves are of a deep olive 
crimson colour, and in this state add very materially to the effectiveness and beauty of tho 
plant, which is at other times remarkable for its red petioles and broad leaf segments.

ORNATTJS, a charming stove Palm, introduced from Java, aud having, like most of tho other 
species, finely cut pinnate leaves. At present it is only known in a young state, which, however, 
is sufficient to show that it will prove to be a plant of very ornamental character.

PALEMBANICUS, vide page 126. 
PERI ACANTHUS, this graceful Palm, a native of Java, bears a general resemblance to- 
il. palembanicus. It differs, however, in having a greater abundance of spines, which group 
themselves in irregular rings around 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 7s. 6 d., 10 s. 6(7. and 15s. 
PLUMOSUS, this graceful Palm is exceedingly handsome, either in a small or largo size. Its 
leaves are of a rich dark green, and remarkably plume-like, hence its name. It is unquestionably 
one of the most elegant of the Palm family, aud being of compact growth, is admirably adapted 
for vases and table decoration 10s. 6(7. and 15s. 
DESMONCUS GRANATENSIS, the species of this genus of Palms are peculiarly distinct in 
their appearance, having a pair of divergent leaflets at the top of the petiole. In 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 divergent pinme, nearly 2 inches broad, 
and of a lively green colour. It has been imported from Colombia. 15s. and 1 guinea

“ENCEPHAL ARTOS ALTENSTEINII 
* BRACHYPHYLLUS 
* BRACHYPTERIS 
* CAFERA ... 
* (Zamia) CYCAD-ffiFOLIUS 
* FRIDERICI-GUILIELMI, this is a very distinct-looking South African species ; the leaves 
are oblong-obtuse, arching, and conduplicate ; the petiole and rachis 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 a glaucous hue. At first sight this 
distinct Cycad would give the impression of being an intermediate species betwoen Dion cdule 
and Cycas revoluta price on application. 
* GHELLINCKII (gracilis) 
* HILDEBRANDII, this Cycadaceous plant has been introduced from Eastern Africa. Tho 
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 
pinme 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.
