Read about Cyrtostachys in the Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture
Cyrtostachys (Greek for a curved spike). Palmaceae, tribe Areceae. Three or four palms of the Malayan region of stately habit, but little known in this country. Stem spineless, slender and tall, crowned by a graceful cluster of pinnately divided Lvs.: Ifts. narrowly lanceolate, a little oblique, at the apex somewhat bifid: spadix short-peduncled, the branches more or less compressed, alternate, sometimes pendulous; fls. monoecious, the two kinds in 1 spadix; stamens 6. rarely 12 or 15: fr. small, elongate-ovoid, tipped by the persistent stigma. For cult., see Areca. The small and young Lvs. of C. Renda are effective but old plants are not very attractive and scarcely known. G.C. II. 24:362.
