LICUALA GRANDIS. 
LICUALA GRANDIS. 
This was discovered in the South Sea Islands by one of Mr. W. B.’s Plant Collectors, and takes 
rank amongst the most distinct and attractive Palms ever introduced. It is of robust, compact 
habit, producing large, handsome leaves, which are nearly orbicvilar in general outline, with a wedge- 
shaped, somewhat truncate base ; the margin for the gx’eater part of the cii’cmnforeuce is divided 
into narrow oblong lobes, each of which is slightly notched. The leaves are oiiginally flat, but 
become convex above as they grow older; they are of a dark shining green colour above, paler 
beneath, and the surface is quite destitute of pubescence. This striking Palm was originally intro- 
duced as Pritchardia grandis, and hitherto has been very scarce and expensive ; now, however, haring 
a good stock, Mr. W. 13. can otter it in nice plants at U guinea each.
