Rhapidophyllum (Greek, probably means Rhapis-leaved). Palmaceae. Blue
Palmetto. Needle Palm. One species ranging from S. C. to Fla. It is a
dwarf fan palm with erect or creeping trunk 2-3 ft. long, and
long-stalked nearly round deeply and unequally cleft lvs. with about 15
segms.: spadices short-peduncled: spathes 2-5, entire, tubular,
compressed, bifid, woolly: fls. minute, orange: fr. small, ovoid or
obovate, woolly. The genus is closely allied to Chamaerops and is
distinguished by having the albumen not ruminate and by the bracts at
the base of the branches of the spadix being few or none. The plant is
said to produce suckers freely, like Rhapis. Cult, as in Rhapis.
