Neonicholsonia (name in compliment to the late George Nicholson, curator at Kew, author of Dictionary of Gardening). Palmaceae. Two Central American stemless palms with pinnate lvs. 4-6 ft. long, yet little known. Fls. monoecious; male fls. small, trifid, the petals 3 and longer than calyx, stamens connate at base in a short ring, the filaments subulate, anthers long-sagittate and with a thin subulate connective that forms a mucro beyond the apex, pistil a conical rudiment; infl. spicate: allied to Calyptrogyne. The genus is founded and the two species described by Dammer in G. C. III. 30, pp. 178, 179 (1901).
N. Georgei, Dammer, has lvs. about 4 ½ ft. long, petiole and all; pinnules 10 or 11 on each side the rachis. lanceolate, acuminate, with 1 central and 2 marginal primary nerves and 6-8 secondary- nerves, 12-16 in. long and 1/3 -2 in. broad, the first pair opposite and the others alternate, terminal pair confluent only at the base and 8 in. long by 1 in. broad. Costa Rica. N. Watsonii, Dammer (named for W. Watson, Nicholson's successor at Kew), differs in its longer lvs., which are about 6 ft. long; and pinnules 9 or 10 on each side, elongate-lanceolate, caudate, 13-18 in. long and 1-2 in. broad, more or less opposite, the terminal pair confluent only at base and 10 in. long by 2 in. broad. Costa Rica.
