Seaforthia (Francis Lord Seaforth, patron of botany). Palmaceae. A genus of palms, founded by Robert Brown on an Australian species, usually considered as synonymous with Ptychosperma. The Seaforthia elegans of cultivation, however, is said to be Archontophoenix, mostly A. Cunninghamii and perhaps some of it A. Alexandrae; the original species described by Brown as S. elegans becomes Ptychosperma elegans, Blume.<br />
<br />
According to Dammer (G.C. III. 31, pp. 18-20) the true Ptychosperma elegans of Blume is met with but rarely in European gardens. What is cultivated under this name in most cases is either Archontophoenix Cunninghamii or A. Alexandrae. These archontophoenixes "are decorative hardy palms, forming on the Riviera very fine high-stemmed specimens. In youth they form bifid leaves, the blade almost horizontal. After having made some four to six such leaves, each larger than the foregoing, there appears a fully pinnate leaf, much differing in mode of growth from Phoenix and other pinnatisect-leaved palms." Seaforthia elegans, Hort., and Ptychosperma elegans, Hort., are apparently sometimes Archontophoenix Cunninghamii and sometimes A. Alexandrae. The last is very like A. Cunninghamii, but, according to Dammer, differs in its segments, which are green only above while underneath they are ashy-glaucous or white; it is well figured in G.C. III. 31:19; also in B.M. 4961 as Seaforthia elegans. A. Cunninghamii is figured in B.M. 7345 as Ptychosperma elegans. The true Ptychosperma elegans, Blume (Seaforthia elegans, R. Br., not Hort.), with pinnules erose rather than acuminate at apex, is figured in G.C. III. 31:21.<br />
<br />
In a recent study, O. F. Cook separates the plant grown in California under the name of Seaforthia elegans into a new genus, Loroma, making the species L. amethystina; probably from Australia. He also retains the genus Seaforthia for S. elegans, R. Br.<br />
