Jubaea spectabilis, HBK. height 40-60 ft. but much lower in cult.: lvs. 6-12 ft. long. G.C. II. 18:401; III. 18:516. Gn. 5, p. 413. V. 8:340. A.F. 22:696. C.L.A.2:19. Gng. 12:658.—The southernmost American palm. "It is one of the hardiest palms," says Franceschi, "and can endure drought and many degrees of cold. If liberally treated, it makes a large tree in a few years." A full-sized trunk yields about 90 gallons of sugary sap, which is boiled by the Chileans and called "Miel de Palma" or palm honey, which is extensively used on ships and hotels on the west coast of S. Amer. There is some danger of the species being exterminated in Chile. The frs. look like diminutive coconuts, and are called Coquitos, or by the trade "monkey's coconuts." In Europe, it is cult, under glass, and also used for subtropical bedding.
