PALMS, CYCLANTHS AND CYCADS. 
SELAGINELLA CAN ALICUL AT A. 
A remarkable handsome species of Club-Moss, introduced from the Islands of the South Pacific. 
It is of scandent habit, the tetragonal sulcate stems, rooting freely from the base, tinted with pale 
brownish red, and furnished with scattered appressed ovate-oblong unequal- sided leaves ; the 
branches are tripinnate ; the larger leaves are distant semi-ovate, while the leaves of the alternate 
divisions are close set, ovate-oblong acute, with the smaller intermediate ones acuminate. 3$.6r/. & 5s . 
SELAGINELLA CATJLESCENS GRACILIS. 
A remarkably neat and pretty Indian Club-Moss. It has creeping rhizomes from which the 
erect arching stems spring up ; these are distinctly branched, the branches ovate with about six or 
seven divisions, each of which is three or four times parted. Its bright green colour and elegant 
dwarf growth combine to give a most pleasing character. -5s. 
SELAGINELLA COGNATA. 
A very fine species, of sub-climbing habit, named provisionally as above. It has stoutish erect 
rooting stems, which are furnished with obliquely- ovate spreading leaves, set on at about half an 
inch apart. The branches are ovate, eight to ten inches long, alternately pinnate, the primary 
branchlets ovate, about three inches long, with six or eight alternating secondary branchlets. The 
leaves become gradually smaller on the successive series of branchlets, the small intermediate ones 
converging with the point upeurved, which gives the surface a somewhat bristly appearance. It has 
been introduced from the Isles of the South Pacific Ocean. 5s. and 7s. 6d. 
SELAGINELLA VICTORIA. 
An elegant sub- scandent species, introduced from the South Sea Islands. It has erect stems, 
-which produce alternate lateral branches of an ovate outline, fiat and closely pinnate, liko the frond 
of a Pern. The colour is a dark green, the spikelets and young growth being of a paler hue. It is 
allied to >$. Wallichii , but is a still more elegant plant, and differs essentially in having a long 
terminal pinnulet to eacli branch, instead of diminishing gradually to the end. Tor Illustration, vide

PALMS, CYCLANTHS AND CYCADS, 
Including ENCEPHALARTOS, MACROZAMIA, &c. 
The Palms constitute tlio most noble family in the vegetable kingdom, and 
afford sufficient diversity of aspect to allow of selections being made from them for 
the greenhouse, stove, or conservatory, to either of which Palms impart a richer 
tropical character than any other plants. Some of tho miniature dwarf-growing 
kinds are, from their light and graceful forms, admirably adapted for table decoration, 
for vases, and for almost every purpose in which ornamentation is desired. The 
more hardy and larger kinds can be used for sub-tropical gardening, to which they 
impart a most luxuriant grandeur, evidence of which has been given in Battersea 
Park, and in other places where Palms have been thus used. 
Selections of Stove Palms, 6, 9 and 12 guineas per dozen. 
Selections for the Greenhouse, at 6, 9 and 12 guineas per dozen. 
Larger specimens, from 2, 3, 4 and 5 to 10 guineas each. 
Those marked with an asterisk * are kinds that trill succeed in a greenhouse.

•ARCHONTOPHCENIX Alexandra (Ptychosperma Alexandra) 2s. 6 d., 3s. 6 d. & os. 
* Cuxxinghaaiiaxa (Seafortiila eleoans, Ptychosperma Cunningiiamiana) a most useful con- 
servatory or cool greenhouse plant, possessing a highly decorative character ; scarcely 
anything can equal the effect of a large plant of this noble Palm.

ARECA Ai.ic.g this name has been given by Dr. MueUer to a North-east Australian Palm, found 
in Trinity Bay by Mr. Walter HiU, and commemorates the late Grand Duchess of Hesse — 
Princess Alice. The leaves are pinnatisect, tho pimue-like segments sessile. Its 
comparatively dwarf habit will render this pinnate Palm, a valuable one for decorative 
purposes 1 guinea.
