' This is the most conspicuous Palm on the bottom-lands of the Chocon river and along the Rio Dulce, and probably attains the largest size of any native species in Guatemala. It is known as the Cohune, Monaco or CoKozo Palm, these names being variously applied to different stages of its growth. For a series of years it remains acaulescent and barren, its huge leaves rising nearly erect from the ground. Even after the trunk has reached a height of ten or fifteen feet or more, and has long been in bearing, it usually re- mains covered to the ground with the persis- tent bases of the sheathing petioles. Finally, these are gradually dropped, and the tree shows a clean cylindrical trunk of thirty to fifty feet or more. The blade of the leaf is fifteen to twenty feet long, vertical in position, and describing a most graceful curve, its numerous divisions entirely distinct (an inch broad or more, and an inch or two apart) and conduplicate at base. The leaves are used for thatching.'—Serenn Watsmi. $ each. BACTRIS horrida. Central America. An excel- lent thorny Palm, with pinnated fronds and pinnules of a distinct form. $ each. B. flavispina.
