Describe the plant here... {{Inc| Kentiopsis (Greek: like Kentia). Palmaceae. A small but very handsome group of palms with tall unarmed stems. Leaves equally pinnate; pinnae sub-opposite, very coriaceous, narrow, sword-shaped, narrowed to the obtuse or toothed apex, with strong mid-nerve, prominent veins and thickened margins: spadix large, thick, the branches stout and long; fls. monoecious, spirally disposed; ovary globose-ovoid followed by a thick- walled fr. — There are 3 species, all Australian. G.C. II. 25:75. Kentiopsis belongs to a large group of genera mentioned under Hedyscepe, 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 distinguished from Hydriastele by having its fls. arranged spirally instead of in 4 ranks. From numerous other cult, allies it is distinguished by the following characters: stamens numerous, 20-25: lf.-segms. narrowed, obtuse or dentate: sepals of the staminate fls. triangular-orbicular, broadly overlapping. Cult, as in Kentia. K. divaricata, brongn. (kentia divaricata, planch.), is referred by Drude in Engler & Prantl, to Drymophloeus. It may be distinguished from the preceding by the alternate pinnae and triangular rachis, keeled above. I.H. 28:409. This has been confused in the trade with Kentia gracilis, which is referred by Index Kewensis to Microkentia gracilis. See I.H. 23:245. Advertised 1895.—K. olivaeformis, Brongn., is characterized by the 4-angled rachia. Not cult. }} ==Cultivation== ===Propagation=== ===Pests and diseases=== ==Varieties== ==Gallery== <gallery perrow=5> Image:Upload.png| photo 1 Image:Upload.png| photo 2 Image:Upload.png| photo 3 </gallery> ==References== <references/> *[[Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture]], by L.
