PHOENIX KUPICOLA. 
S beautiful Palm, the analogue of Cocos Weddellkuia amonsst the 
Phxrniccs., ^vas described by Dr. Anderson in a paper read before the 
Liniiean Society, published in the Society’s Journal (xi., 13). It was 
found by him in the valley of the Teesta, at from -100 ft. to 1,500 ft. eleva¬ 
tion. It is of slender habit, with a stem 15 ft. to 20 ft. high, and a diameter of eight 
inches in its full-grown state. TJie leaves are nearly ten feet long, elegantly 
drooping, with a compressed petiole, and trigonous raehis, bearing numerous 
llaeeid linear-ensiform, acuminate, alternate or sub-opposite })iniue, a foot and a 
half long, green on both sides, conduplieate at the base, and from a quarter of 
an inch to an inch in width. 
Dr. Anderson remarks that P. rupicola is distinguished from all others of the 
genus, by its long slender stems, without adherent petioles, except immediately 
under the old fronds ; by the soft delicate foliage, like the leaves of a cocoa-nut; 
and by the elongated, much flattened spadices, bearing a few fascicled spikes on 
the sharp edges near the apex. The plant was seen by him only on the steep, 
almost inaccessible sandstone cliffs at the exit of the Teesta from the hills into
