Rhapis (Greek, needle; alluding to the shape of the leaves or perhaps
the awns of the corolla). Palmaceae, tribe Sabaleae. Fan palms of very
distinct habit, being among the few palms that produce suckers at the
base, thereby forming bushy clumps,
Low palms, with leafy densely cespi-tose reedy sts. clothed with
remains of the reticulate lf.-sheaths: lvs. alternate and terminal,
submembranaceous, connate or semi- orbicular, irregularly and
digitately 3- to many- parted; segms. linear, cuneate, or elliptical
truncate, entire, dentate or lobed; nerves 3 to many; transverse veins
conspicuous; rachis none; ligule very short, semicircular; petiole
slender, biconvex, smooth or serrulate on the margins; sheath long,
loosely fringed on the margin: spadices shorter than the lvs.,
slender-pedun- cled: rachis sheathed by deciduous bracts: branches
spreading: spathes 2-3, incomplete, membranous: fls. yellow.—About 5
species, natives of China and Japan. This genus is distinguished from
its near allies (for a list of which see Licuala) by the fls. being
dioecious; corolla 3-toothed; anthers dehiscing extrorsely. The name
Rhapis is commonly spelled and pronounced Raphis, but this is
incorrect. They can be grown in temperate house with a night
temperature of 55-60°. The soil should be good loam 3 parts, leaf-mold
1 part and sand 1 part. Prop, by imported seeds or by the freely
produced suckers. Hardy in S. Calif, and S. Fla., and, in fact, the
hardiest of all the palms with the exception of certain species of
Sabal and Chamaerops.
