Cycas Rumphii, Miq. Closely related to the preceding, but growing taller in its natural habitat, sometimes reaching a height of 20 ft. or more: lvs. shorter and with fewer Ifts.: scales of male cone thickened and obliquely truncate at the tip, with a short upcurved sometimes caducous point; carpophylls a foot long, narrower than in C. circinalis, with an entire often elongate subulate tip; seeds oval or subglobose, 2-2½ in. long by 1½-1¾ in. diam. Moist wooded regions of Burma, Ceylon (possibly intro.), Andaman Isls., Nicobar, Malaya, New Guinea, and N. Austral.—This species when growing in cult. is usually much lower, and has a full large crown of lvs., with lanceolate pinnae thinner and paler than those of C. circinalis. Much grown in tropical gardens of E. Indies; male plants rare. CH
