Changes

Leaves terminal, large, orbicular, flabellately divided to the middle into numerous linear-lanceolate segms.; begins, induplicate in the bud; rachis none; ligule small; petiole long, stout, concave above, spiny on the margins; sheaths split: spadix solitary, erect, paniculately much branched; spathes many, tubular, sheathing the peduncle and branches; fls. green, the plant dying after once flowering and fruiting: frs. as large as a cherry, with a fleshy pericarp.—Species 6, Trop. Asia and Malay Archipelago. G.C. II. 24:362. These fan-palms are cult, the same as Chamaerops and Livistona. They are warmhouse plants, prop, by seeds. Large fans, umbrellas and tents are made of the talipot palm by the natives of Ceylon. Coryphas are but little grown commercially, the growth of young plants being slow. Good loam well enriched with stable manure, a night temperature of 65° and abundant moisture, are the chief requisites in their cult., with a moderately shaded house during the summer.
