dc.description	A. Encephalartos Altensteinii Lehm. 1. Female plant. 2. Scale (sporophyll) of male cone with pollen bags, seen from below. 3. Group of ripe pollen bags, 6/1. 4. Pollen grain. 300/1. 5. Scale of female cone, with nearly fully developed ovules. Seen from below, hence the ovules partly hidden by the stalk of the scale. 6. Scale of ripe cone, one of the two seeds in position. Seen from above. 7. Ripe seed in longitudinal section, showing the large endosperm and the immature embryo. 8. Beetle (a weevil, Antliarhinus Zamiae, called Curculio zamiae by THUNBERG as he named this genus of plants "Zamia"). See his Flora Cap. p. 430. 9. Beetle (Derelomus languidus) from the flowers of E. Altensteinii, collected on both sexes by Miss A. Pegler. B. E. villosus. Seedling with coralliform, apo-geotropic root. C. Moth. Zeronopsis leopardina. This moth deposits its eggs on the leaves of several species of Encephalartos, and the larvae (see figure B) devour the young fronds as long as these are soft and juicy. It is also found on Stangeria.
