Pritchardia (W. T. Pritchard, British consul at Fiji in 1860). Palmaceae, tribe Corypheae. Spineless fan palms from islands of the South Pacific; also in Cuba if Colpothrinax is included.
Trunk usually ringed, crowned at the summit by a large cluster of spreading plicate-flabelliform lvs.: spadix at first erect, ultimately drooping at the fruiting stage: fls. hermaphrodite, small, green; ovary 3-cornered or 3-lobed, narrowed into a strong style; corolla with persistent tube and deciduous segms.; embryo subbasilar.—About 14 or 15 species; by some, Washing-tonia is included in this genus. The genus was monographed by Beccari in Malesia, vol. 3 (1890). A good horticultural account is that of Wm. Watson in G.C. III. 13:332 (1893). True pritchardias, according to Watson, differ from all other fan-lvd. palms in the form of the blade, which is cuneate in outline; the lvs.
are also exceptionally soft and pliant. The best of the genus, probably, is P. pacifica, which is remarkable for its fibrous fluffy lf.- stalks.
P. borneensis, Hort., was intro. in 1891 by Linden, but unknown to botanists.—P. filamentosa, Hort., is presumably a catalogue error for P. filifera.—P. filifera, Lind., is Washingtonia filifera.—P. grandis, Bull, is Licuala grandis.—P. periculorum, Wendl., is characterised by its dark brownish golden petioles and obliquely spherical fr. Pomotu Isl.—P. robusta, Hort., listed abroad, is without botanical description.—P. Thirstonii, Drude, is distinguished by its long slender fl.-stalks like fishing-rods bearing a thyrse-like infl. Neither of the last two is in cult. in Amer.
