Oreodoxa regia, HBK. (Roystonea regia, O. F. Cook). Royal Palm. Fig. 2675. Caudex 40-60 ft. high.: Lvs. 8-10 ft. long; lf.-segms. 2½ ft. long, 1 in. or less wide, linear, acuminate: fr. ovoid, ½ in. Cuba, Antigua. G.F. 9:155. S.S. 10:505. G.C. III. 17:239; 27:297. A.F. 12:311. G.M. suppl. Oct. 1, 1892.—Commonly planted in the W. Indies; also elsewhere. The form in Fla. (separated as Roystonea floridana, O. F. Cook) is said to lack the characteristic bulge in the trunk and to grow in reach of tide-water rather than on the hills or elevated lands. In the Everglades this native palm sometimes reaches 125 ft. in height, with Lvs. 15 ft. long. It is tall and slender when young.
