{{Inc| Linospadix (Greek, linear spadix). Palmaceae. Dwarf unarmed palms varying considerably in foliage. Flowers monoecious, spirally arranged on the erect spadix which appears among the lvs.: lvs. terminal, flabelliform, deeply 2-cut, the apex of the lobes sometimes cut and thread-like.—Eight species all from New Guinea. The genus is allied to Bacularia, but Bacularia has premorse lf segms. and erect anthers fastened at the base, while Linospadix has acuminate lf .segms. and versatile anthers fastened on the back. Linospadix is distinguished from Howea (which see) by the stamens 6-9; pistillate fls. with 6-9 staminodes: ovule parietal. The best known species, L. Petrickiana, is of uncertain botanical affinity. The name does not appear in botanical literature. This is a handsome pinnate lvd. palm of compact growth and well furnished with foliage, at least while in a young state. In its juvenile condition, the lvs. of L. Petrickiana are simply bifid, the pinnate form gradually appearing as the plant attains age. It was intro. in 1899 by Sander & Co., who say: "The slender, alternate pinnae are slightly arched. The base is netted with brown fiber, small, hair-like glumes of the same color being apparent on the younger fronds and leafstalks. The young fronds are colored similarly to those of Areca Ilsemannii, and when developing have the luster and brilliancy of new copper." Cultural conditions suited to the needs of calamus and daempnorops will be most likely to succeed with linospadix, and include a temperature of 70°, plenty of water, and some shade throughout the year. L. Leopoldii, Hort. Sander. Uncertain as to botanical affinity, perhaps the preceding. Name never published in botanical literature. Shown at Ghent in 1903. G.C. III. 33, suppl. to April 25. —L. Michollitzii, C. H, Wright. A low, stemless palm, with a densely crowded cluster of 2-cut. flabelliform, plicate lvs.: spadix slender, nodding, about 1-2 ½ ft. long, bearing numerous attractive, pale yellow fls. New Guinea. B.M. 8095. Not in cult, in Amer., but an attractive little plant. }} ==Cultivation==  ===Propagation===  ===Pests and diseases===  ==Species==  ==Gallery== {{photo-sources}} <gallery> Image:Upload.png| photo 1 Image:Upload.png| photo 2 Image:Upload.png| photo 3 </gallery> ==References== *[[Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture]], by L.
