Read about Ranevea in the Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture
Ranevea (anagram of Ravenea). Ravenea of Bouche. Palmaceae. One species of palm perhaps allied to Hyophorbe, from which it differs, among other things, in its dwarfer habit, usually dioecious fls. and in the fls. being arranged alternately on the short branches of the spadix. The genus Ranevea seems, however, to be of uncertain relationship. Bouche's generic name Ravenea dates from 1878. It appears in Bentham & Hooker (3:883) as Ravenia. In spelling it is so similar to Ravenia of Vellozo, 1825, that the two cannot be distinguished by pronunciation, and there fore a new name was given. Cult, as in Hyophorbe. Prop, by seeds in stovehouse, under glass. The above text is from the Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture.
