Zalacca (said to be the name of the genus in the Moluccas). Palmaceae. Stemless palms with creeping roots, adapted to the warmhouse. Lvs. elongated, equally pinnatisect; segms. alternate, fascicled or equidistant, lanceolate or oblanceolate, straight or falcate, acuminate; rachis obtusely 3-angled, not produced into a spine; petioles rather terete, usually with spirally disposed prickles; sheaths strongly armed with compressed prickles; ligule none: spathes persistent, the lower ones sheathing the peduncle and branches, incomplete, the partial ones subtending the floriferous branchlets; spadices simple or fastigiately branched, pendulous, floriferous branchlets catkin-like, rather short, remote or clustered, sessile or pendulous: fls. polygamous-dioecious, usually rose-colored: fr. globose, turbinate or ovoid, 1-3-seeded, usually beaked.—About 14 species, Assam and Malay. Two forms have been sometimes cult. Z. edulis, Blume (Z. Blumeana, Mart.). Lvs. copious, clustered, erect, clothed with long, often serrate prickles; pinnae linear-lanceolate, very long-acuminate, 1 1/2 – 2 1/4 ft. long, 1 1/2 - 2 in. broad, whitish beneath; petiole rather shorter than the rachis and armed with robust prickles: spadices drooping, long-branched: fr. fulvous-fuscescent, pyriform, 2 1/2 in. long. Malay Archipelago. Var. Wallichiana, Mart. (Z. Wallichiana, Mart.), has lvs. 18-20 ft. long, clustered, nearly erect; pinnae fascicled in 2's, 3's, or 4's, narrow-lanceolate, with a long and slender, cuspidate point, attenuated and reduplicate at base, flat, older ones 1 1/2 ft. long, 3-4 in. broad; petiole 4-6 ft. long, armed with robust, fuscous prickles: fr. ovate-pyriform, 1 1/2 ft. long. India, Burma, and Malaya. G.C. 1873:1083.
