Plate XII 
Cycadeoidea Boesiana sp. nov. 
Trunk seen from side with the markedly femall leaf, or leaf and scale 
leaf bases. Note the small rhombic scars forming the two low-angled spirals 
(about 30 degrees, left, and 40 degrees! right). There is some crushing down 
of the armour, or a slight shear of the trunk obliquely towards the lower 
right side. 
The manner in which the terminal bud is laterally eroded appears 
more plainly than in Plate XI ; but the bud retains its full height, and nearly 
the original outlines. The heavy ramentum and thickly set scale leaves 
envelop only young and small foliage leaves, if such are present at all. (The 
stem is obviously of the large pith type'.) (Page 84 .)
