PALMS, CYCLANTHS AND CYCADS. 
SELAGINELLA CANALICULATA. 
A remarkable handsome species from the Islands of the South Pacific. It is of scandent habit, 
the stems rooting freely from the base, tinted with pale bromiish-red, and furnished with scattered 
ovate-oblong unequal-sided leaves : the branches are tripiimate ; the larger leaves are distant semi- 
ovate, while the leaves of the alternate divisions are close set and ovate-oblong acute. 3». Grf. and 5*. 
SELAGINELLA COGNATA. 
A very fine species, of sub-climbing habit. It has stoutish erect rooting stems, wliich are 
furnished with obliquely-ovate spreading leaves, set on at about half an inch apart. The leaves 
become gradually smaller on the successive series of branchlets, the small intermediate ones 
converging with the point upcurved, which gives the surface a somewhat bristly appearance. It has 
been introduced from the Isles of the South Pacific Ocean. 5«. 
SELAGINELLA FLAGELLIFERA. 
A very elegant species of a bright cheerful green colour, introduced from the Fiji Islands. The 
leaves on the main rachis are spreading, broadly cordate, with a stout midrib and entii’e margins. 
The fructification is terminal on the branchlets, the spikelets tetragonal, from a quarter to half an 
inch long. From the free manner in which this species produces long flagellifonu rooting stems or 
runners, it is particularly adapted for rockwork or basket-erdture. 7s. Gd. 
SELAGINELLA VICTORIiE, 
An elegant sub-scandent species, introduced from the South Sea Islands. It has erect stems, 
which produce alternate lateral branches of an ovate outline, flat and closely pinnate. The colour- is 
a dark green, the spikelets and young growth being of a paler hue, having a long terminal pinnulet 
to each branch. 3». Gd. 
PALMS, CYCLANTHS & CYCADS, 
Including ENCEPHALARTOS, MACROZAMIA, &c. 
The Palms constitute the most noble family in the vegetable kingdom, and 
afford sufidcient 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 the miniature dwarf-growing 
kinds are, from their light and graceful forms, admirably adapted for table decoration, 
for vases, and for almost every pm-pose 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.
