KENTIA LINDENI. 
HANDSOME and well-marked new 
Palm, introduced by M. Linden from 
New Caledonia in 1875, and sent out 
in the following year. It is a free 
growing species, of elegant habit, and quite 
distinct in character. The leaves are pinnate, 
of a deep green colour, with red petioles and 
rachides; the leaf segments numbering some 
eight or ten pairs, are broadish, linear acumi¬ 
nate and gracefully drooping ; and the young 
leaves themselves, before their complete de¬ 
velopment, are of a bright salmony red, which 
adds much to the eflfectiveness of the plant. 
The plant is only known in its juvenile state, 
and as hinted by M. Andre, when publishing 
the coloured figure in UllJmtration Horticole
