II.—Cocos Weddelliana. 
Jp)ROBABLY there is no more graceful plant than this in the whole order of 
Palms, peculiarly charming as many of them are, with their airy elegance 
;j _ „ and curving lines of beauty. Certain it is, as the accompanying figure 
fP will bear witness, that we have in this slender-growing Cocos Weddelliana* 
a palm of exquisite loveliness, with which even few of the handsomest of those 
we possess in our gardens can be at all compared for beauty. We are indebted 
to Mr. Wendland, of Herrenliausen, who is one of the first authorities on the 
subject, for the accompanying description of the plant, of -which he further writes : 
* Cocos Weddelliana, Wendt. MS.: “ Plant 6'-10'; trunk very slender, 4'-G'; leaves 3'-4', covered with 
blackish-brown scales; the segments or pinna} 50-60 on each side, very narrow linear, obliquely pointed, 
dark-green, silvery beneath, S" long, 4"' broad. Spadices 2'-3', erect, with two sheaths, the outer one G" 
Jong, the inner one 2-3'; peduncle of spadix compressed upwards, 30-50 branched, the branches patent, 
several inches long, very slender. $ flowers 6-10 on the lower half of each branch, <5 iu the upper part, 
geminate, or one on each side of the $, but these shortly pedicellated. <J calyx, very small, almost triphyllous ; 
sepals lanceolate long, petals three, stamens six. $ calyx and corolla triphyllous; sepals aud petals 
much alike, the latter larger, abruptly-acuminated (like a spur); annulus of staminodes, very short. Ovarium 
ovoid; stigmas three-parted. Fruits unknown to me. Nuts (if correctly referi'ed here), nearly globular, 
small, three-celled.”— Wendland in lilt.
