+ | The following are mostly trade names, but at present they can be only imperfectly described: S. caerulescens, Bull. A native of Colombia intro. in 1875. Apparently only the juvenile state has been described. Lvs. elongate, linear-lanceolate, plicate, with a bluish or glaucous green color which is very strongly marked on the under surface. Nehrling writes that he cannot distinguish at present his specimens of S. caerulescens from S. glaucescens. -S.dealbata, Hort. "This species," writes Nehrling, "reminds one of S. Mocinii, although it is smaller in all its parts. The lvs. are numerous, glaucous green and of a fine fan-shaped form. Compared with the sabals that form a trunk, these stemless species have little beauty, though they look well as foliage plants in company with Cycas revoluta and Dioon edule." The name "dealbata" means whitened, but it appears to be unrecognized in botanical literature in connection with Sabal. — S. Ghiesbrechtii, Hort., is S. Palmetto, at least so far as some gardens are concerned, but Beccari considers it a European name applied to cult. plants of S. Palmetto. — S. glauca, Hort. Pitcher & Manda, 1895, may possibly be meant for S. glaucescens. — S. havanensis, Lodd., according to Nehrling, "is a more upright grower than S. Blackburniana, has a slender st. and the lf. -stalks are longer and thinner. The lvs. have a bluish green color while young, changing to a fine dark green when they get older." Habitat unknown and the name has no botanical standing. — S. Hoogendorpii, Hort., is Livistona Hoogendorpii. — S. javanica, Hort., Pitcher & Manda, is possibly meant for S. havanensis, since Sabal is an American genus and is not known in Java. — S. longifolia. Hort., according to Nehrling "has very numerous, long and slender lvs. which are bright green above and silvery below." — S. longipedunculata, Hort., according to Nehrling, "is a stemless plant with smaller lvs. than those of S. Mocinii and very long and slender stalks." Reasoner adds that the lvs. are glaucous green. The last two are known only by these trade names, and are not certainly referable to any maintained species. | ||

Sabal is a genus of New World palms, many of the species being known as palmetto. They are fan palms (Arecaceae tribe Corypheae), with the leaves with a bare petiole terminating in a rounded fan of numerous leaflets; in some of the species, the leaflets are joined for up to half of their length. A variable portion of the leaf petiole may remain persistent on the trunk for many years after leaf fall leaving the trunk rough and spiky, but in some, the lower trunk loses these leaf bases and becomes smooth. The fruit is a drupe.
Sabal species are used as food plants by the larvae of some Lepidoptera species including Paysandisia archon.
The species are native to the warm temperate to tropical regions of the New World.
