Ceroxylon andicolum, HBK. (Iriartea andicola, Spreng. I. Klopstockia, Hort. Klopstockia cerifera, Karst. Beethovenia cerifera, Engl.). The celebrated wax-palm of the Andes, and a good greenhouse subject: said to reach nearly 200 ft.: trunk slender, swollen at the middle: lvs. 6-8 in., the crown, the under sides silvery- scurfy.—The waxy covering of the trunk gives it a marble-like and columnar appearance. The wax, used as an ingredient in the making of candles, is an article of commerce. It is said that Diplothemium caudescens (Ceroxylon niveum, Hort.) is sometimes sold for the wax-palm by plant dealers. C. ferrugineum, Regel, is probably referable to Iriartea. It appears not to be in the trade. C. andicolum is a free grower under cult., and is a very ornamental subject. It thrives in a warm moist house, and the seeds also germinate well under similar conditions. L.H.B.
