Microkentia (smatt or minute Kentia). Palmaceae. Here may belong the plant known to the trade as Kentia gracilis. Microkentia is a genus of 6 species of palms from New Caledonia. They are unarmed, with slender bamboo-like ringed trunks. The lvs. are terminal, pinnatisect, and the lf.-segms. are long- sword-shaped and distinct, or the upper ones grown together into a broad 2-cut blade. The frs. in this genus are amongst the smallest in the palm family. The fls. also are minute. The true kentias, of which perhaps none is cult., have larger fls. and frs., the former white, the latter vermilion. The anthers are fixed at the base in Kentia, but dorsifixed and versatile in Microkentia. Microkentia is nearer Clinostigma and Cyphosperma, but in these the lf.-segms. are irregularly cut off at the apex. Kentia gracilis, Brongn. & Gris. -Microkentia gracilis, Benth. & Hook. It is possible that the Kentia gracilis of the trade is Kentiopsis divaricata. None of the other species is known in cult.
