On the Anatomy of the Roots of Palms. 
By E. Drabble, D.Sc. 
(Trans. Linn. Soc., II. Series, vol. VI., 1904.) 
This paper deals with the internal characters of over sixty species 
of palms. The roots of more than seventy species were sent from 
Peradeniya to Dr. Drabble, and the work before us presents many new 
ideas, and is a comprehensive treatise on the anatomy of the roots of an 
interesting group of plants. Many of the species examined can be 
seen in the living state in the Gardens at Peradeniya.
