Chrysalidocarpus lutescens, Wendl. (Hyophorbe indica, Gaertn. H. Commersoniana, Mart. Areca lutescens. Bory). Fig. 926. St. 30 ft. high, 4-6 in. diam., cylindrical, smooth, thickened at the case: lvs. very long; segms. almost opposite, lanceolate, 2 ft. long, 2½ in. wide, acute, with 3 prominent primary nerves, which are convex below and acutely 2-faced above. Bourbon. A.G. 13: 141. A.F. 4:566. — In growing Chrysalidocarpus (or Areca) lutescens in quantity, it will be found a good plan to sow the seeds either on a bench, in boxes or seed-pans, so prepared that the seedlings will remain in the soil in which they germinate until they have made 2 or more lvs. The first lf. made above the soil is small, and if plants are potted off at this stage they must be very carefully watered in order not to sour the soil. In the preparation of the receptacles for the seed, a little gravel in the bottom will be found good, as the roots work very freely through it, and when the time comes to separate the plants previous to potting, it is an easy matter to disentangle the roots without bruising them. Probably the plan which works best is to wash the soil and gravel entirely from among the roots. Pot in soil not too dry, and for the next few days keep the house extra warm and humid, and the plants shaded from the sun without any moisture applied to the soil. Jared G. Smith and G. W. Oliver.
