230 Thiselton-Dyer.—Morphological Notes. 
when I was at Peradeniya, there was a young plant [of Lodoicea\ growing 
in the Gardens which Trimen [the Director] told me had been planted 
about five years previously. The “ nut” was still in the ground and con¬ 
nected by the sucker with the plant. The latter bore, I think, about five 
leaves; the later formed ones were very large, somewhat resembling 
those of Ccrypha umbraculifera .’
