SirgJint J. Berosford, stationed near the Hammersley Range?. Moreover, I have, always found transmitted 
fruitlcts considerably larger than those of the genuine L. Marice, and further some minor differences exist 
also in the flowers of the two species, as recently ascertained. The West Australian Pan Palm has, therefore, 
now been named L. Alfrc.di, in honour of H.R.H. the Duke of Edinburgh, at whose nuptial festival the 
Central Australian Palm became dedicated to the Princess Marie of Russia. What applies to many other 
palms holds good also for L. Allredi, namely, that the leaves are more strongly spinousin the young than in 
the aged plant. Mr. Beresford records this palm now also from the Fortescue River and its tributaries, 
from the sources of the Robe River, and from Cave's Crock. (Viet. Nat. ix, 112, November, 1802.)
