Ranevea hildebrandtii, Bailey (Ravenea Hildebrandtii,Bouiche). Becoming 8-12 ft. high, but flowering under cult, when half that height, spineless, erect: lvs. elliptic-oblong or ovate-oblong in outline, long-stalked, pinnate, the pinnae 20 or more pairs and narrow-lanceolate-acute: spadix long-stalked, the staminate recurved and with short densely fld. spreading branches, the pistillate erect, with filiform strict branches thickened at the base: fls. pale straw-color, the calyx 3-lobed, the petals 3 and joined at the base, the stamens 6: fr. black. Comoro Isls. (east of Afr.). I.H. 27:403. B.M. 6776. G.F. 4:259.—An excellent dwarf palm, described by W. Watson to be "as elegant as Geonoma gracilis and as sturdy as a Kentia. It deserves to take a prominent place among garden palms, its small size, free habit, elegance, good constitution, being all in its favor, while in the freedom with which it flowers and produces seed we have an exceptional character among dwarf palms." Perfect fls. are sometimes produced, although the plant is usually dioecious. Described as one of the most valuable recent palms. L. H. B.
