Mauritia (after Prince Moritz, of Nassau, 1567- 1665, patron of Piso and Marcgraf; by his aid a Natural History of Brazil was published). Palmaceae, tribe Coryphiniae. Very graceful fan palms, very little grown in America except in botanic gardens.

Stems very slender, obscurely ringed, almost spineless: lvs. pinnately flabelliform, semi-circular, orbicular or wedge-shaped, the lobes lanceolate, acuminate; rachis long or short; petiole cylindrical: ovary perfectly 3-celled.—There are 6 or 7 species, all Trop. American. Mauritia must be grown in rich soil in a very hot moist house with a day temperature of 80-85°. The pots of small plants are often partly submerged in water. G.C. II.26:491.
