Maximiliana (after Maximilian Joseph, first king of Bavaria, 1756-1825, not Prince Maximilian Alexander Philipp, as said by some). Palmaceae, tribe Attaleae. Tall pinnate-leaved palms, spineless, with ringed trunks. Known also as Englerophoenix; see Maximilianea, below.

Leaves with linear pinnae; in groups, the midveins and transverse nerves prominent; rachis bifacial, strongly compressed: petiole plano-convex. This genus is distinguished from Attalea as follows: petals of the male fls. minute, much shorter than the 6 exserted stamens: fr. 1-seeded: pinnae in groups instead of equidistant. From Cocos and Scheelia it differs in the above floral characters and in the plano-convex instead of concavo- convex petioles. Fr. yellow or brown, ovoid, with fibrous or fleshy pericarp and bony endocarp, the latter 3-pored at the base, acuminate at the apex.— Species 3, St. Kitts, Trinidad and S. Amer. For cult., see Palms.
