Palisota (named in honor of A. M. F. J. Palisot de Beauvois, 1752-1820, French administrator, traveler and botanist). Commelinaceae. Perennial herbs, sometimes grown as pot or tub specimens under glass, as in palm houses, for the foliage.
Stem or caudex either long or very short, simple or nearly so, with the lvs. crowded at the top or base: lvs. long, parallel-veined, hairy when young and the margins with reddish or grayish hairs: fls. mostly white or purplish or rose, in many small cymes which are arranged in a dense
or elongated panicle on mostly 1 peduncle that is terminal or essentially so; sepals and petals 3, the latter obovate; stamens 3, perfect, and 2 or 3 bearded staminodes; ovary 3-celled, with 1-several ovules in each: fr. a colored fleshy or succulent inde-hiscent berry.—Species about 15, in Trop. Afr. Little known in cult, outside of collections. The lvs. are often banded or striped, and the colored hairs make them conspicuous. For cult., see Commelina, p. 835.
P. Albertii, Gentil. Sub-caulescent: much like P. Elisabethse, but lvs. not variegated and petioles without marginal hairs, also stronger-growing: lvs. very dark green, grayish hairy beneath, to 3 ft. long and 4-10 in. wide, long-attenuate to petiole, the latter widely channeled. Habitat not given.—P. Barteri, Hook. f. Sts. 1-5 in. long, with lvs. near the base (i. e., practically radical), the young parts shaggy hairy: lvs. to 2 ft. long by about 4 in. wide, obovate-lanceolate, abruptly contracted into a tip 1 in. long, at maturity with densely hairy margins but otherwise often nearly glabrous: infl. about 2 in. long (or longer in cult.), very many-fid. ; fls. pale purplish. Upper Guinea. B.M. 5318. — P.bicolor. Mast., imperfectly known, has oblong-obovate lvs. about 1 ft. long, with a broad band in center of greenish yellow, the margins brown-hairy and fleshy petiole with broad purplish
band. Upper Guinea. — P. Elisabethae, Gentil (P. Pynaertii var. Elizabethae, Hort.). Caulescent: lvs. long-acuminate, obovate-lanceolate, marked with greenish yellow variegation along the
median line, 2-3 ft. long and 4-10 in. wide, long-attenuated to petiole, the latter thick and several inches long, broadly canaliculate with rufescent hairs on the margin. Habitat not given.
G.C. III. 48:423. Gt. 64, p. 49. — P. Pynaertii, Wildem. The plant in cult, seems to be the variegated-lvd. form and which is probably the same as P. Elizabethae;, although the latter is said to differ in general form of growth and to have longer lvs. and with widely channeled
petiole. Trop. Afr. R.B. 35:376 (as fol. var. ). — P. Schweinfurthii, Clarke. St. 3-7 in. long and 1/2in. diam., with 2 or 3 lvs. at the nodes: lvs. to 2 ft. or somewhat more and 8 in. broad, elliptic, short-acuminate at either end, densely hairy on margin but more or less glabrate otherwise: infl. 4-7 in. long, cylindric and very dense, containing several hundred fls. Trop. Afr., widely spread. G.W. 8, p. 553. — P. thyrsifiora, Benth. Shaggy-hairy on young parts, the sts. to 15 ft. long: lvs. very large lance- obovate or oblong-elliptic, the margins densely hairy: fls. white, in a loose panicle often 2 in. wide and 10 in. long; ovary glabrous: berry 1/4 in. or more diam., blue. Upper and Lower Guinea. The Dichorisandra thysiana. Hort. (G.C. III. 28:302. R.B. 28:133), is probably this plant. It is described as a "plant of striking habit, and bold ascending foliage:" from Hort. Linden.
