This is like the Alsophila Burbidgei of Hose and of Christ in having 
a dense fringe of brown scales on the stipe and lower part of the rachis 
and is pei’haps identical with Hose’s plant, at least. Baker described as 
Cyathea Burbidgei a plant without scales and the costae strongly ciliate 
beneath; the costae of C. elliptica are not in the least so. The pinnules 
are usually abruptly but not greatly dilated at the base.
