Read about Sabal palmetto in the Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture 

Sabal palmetto, Lodd. (Inodes Palmetto, Cook). Cabbage Palmetto. Trunk erect, lvs. 5-8 ft. long, cordate in outline, recurved at the summit, shorter than the petiole; segms. deeply cleft: spadix spreading, shorter than the lvs.: drupe black, 1/3 - 1/2 in. long. N. C. to Fla. and Bahamas.

—S. Mocinii, Hort., is referred to S. Palmetto by Voss, but Nehrling describes it as a stemless plant from Mex., more beautiful than the dwarf palmetto, bearing immense lvs. on strong stalks, the lvs. attaining a height of 6-8 ft. Others think S. Mocinii is the same as S. Blackburniana. S. Palmetto has been confused in the European trade with S. texana. Very commonly planted as a shade and avenue tree in the southern states.
