The Pamphlet Collection of Sir Robert Stout: Volume 6

Seeds—pounding, Maceration

Seeds—pounding, Maceration.

46. Encephalartos Miquelii, Ferd. Mueller. Dwarf Zamia. Banga.—Mountains and valleys. Found generally in the same locality as the palm nut, with a large cone-fruit not unlike a pine-apple. The seeds, orange red when ripe, and separating freely, are baked for about half an hour under ashes; the outside covers and the stones are then broken, and the kernels, divided by a stroke of the Kondola, are put into a dilly-bag and carried to a stream or pond, where they remain six or eight days before they are tit for eating.

47. Encephalartos Denisonii, Ferd. Mueller. Leichhardt's aborescent Zamia. Prepared in the same way as E. Miquelii.
