Species 2. New Caledonia. Kentiopsis belongs to a large group of genera men- tioned under Hedyscepe (p. 718), which differ from Kentia in having the ovule fastened on the side of the locule, and more or less pendulous, instead of fastened at the base and erect, as in Kentia. Kentiopsis is dis- tinguished from Hydriastele by having its fls, arranged spirally instead of in 4 ranks. From numerous other cultivated allies it is distinguished by the following characters: stamens numerous, 20-25: leaf-segments narrowed,obtuse or dentate: sepals of the staminate fls. triangular-orbicular, broadly overlapping. macrocArpa, Brongn. {Kentia Lindeni, Hort.
