Pelrickiana is a pinnate-leaved palm from New Guinea, int. 1899 by Sander & Co., who say: "The slender, alternate pinnae are .slightly arched. The base is netted with brown fiber, small, hair-like glumes of the same color being apparent on the younger fronds and leaf- stalks. The young fronds are colored similarly to those of Areca Ilsemanni, and when developing have the luster and brilliancy of new ; Linospadix contains about 4 species of dwarf, un- armed palms, all from New Guinea, varying consider- ably in foliage. The genus is allied to Bacularia, but Bacularia has premorse leaf segments and erect anthers fastened at the base, while Linospadix has acuminate leaf segments and versatile anthers fastened on the back. Linospadix is distinguished from Howea (which see) by the stamens G-9: pistillate fls. with 6-9 stami- nodes: ovule parietal. Petrickiana, Sander. Pinnse once cut from the apex to a third or fourth the length of the pinna; laterally cut about six-sevenths of the way from the tips of the seg- ments to the rachis: premature basal Ivs. cut once from the apex to half their length, the 2 lobes uncut. 111. 24 is a handsome pinnate-leaved palm of compact growth and well furnished with foliage, at least while in a young state. In its juvenile condition, the leaves of L. Petrickiana are simply bifld, the pinnate form gradually appearing as the plant attains age. Cultural conditions suited to the needs of Calamus and Dsemonorops will be most likely to succeed with Linospadix, and include a temperature of 70°, plenty of water
