Rhopalostylis (name refers to the club-shaped spadix). Palmaceae, tribe
Areceae, Two species of pinnate palms, both of which are useful
conservatory plants and nearly always sold as species of Areca or
Kentia.
Spineless palms with medium ringed caudices: lvs. terminal, equally
pinnatisect; segms. equidistant, numerous, narrowly sword-shaped,
acuminate, the margins not thickened, recurved at the base, the
midveins prominent, with 1—3-nerves on each side; rachis concave above,
scurfy; petiole very short; sheath elongated: spadices short,
spreading, with a very short thick peduncle, and fringed, rather thick,
densely-fld. branches: spathes 2, symmetrical, oblong, flattened, the
lower 2-winged: bracts adnate to the flower-bearing areas, subulate at
the apex; bractlets scaly: fls. medium: fr. small or medium,
ellipsoidal, smooth. Rhopalostylis belongs to the large group in which
the ovule is borne on the side and is more or less pendulous, while in
Areca and Kentia the ovule is at the base and erect. From the 5 cult,
genera listed under Hedyscepe (which see) Rhopalostylis differs as
follows: sepals of staminate fls. awl-shaped to lanceolate, not
imbricated; stamens 6-12; pistillate fls. with short petals, valvate at
the apex. Cult, as in kentia. Prop, by imported seeds under glass, over
bottom heat. Hardy in S. Calif, if planted in shaded positions. Shade
is necessary for thrifty growth as the fronds burn badly in the sun;
and it will also furnish sufficient protection from frost.
