Bentinckia (named for Lord Bentinck, governor of Madras, 1803-1805). Palmaceae, tribe Geonomeae. Tall stately unarmed palms, with equally pinnate, terminal leaves; not as yet well known to the trade, but deserving greater attention.
Leaves of many lfts. which are usually 2-lobed at the apex: spathes many, the 2 lower short and incomplete; spadix arising from among the Lvs., branched; fls. small, monoecious or polygamous: fr. small, almost round, with a single seed pendulous from the top of the cavity. —There are only 2 species, both Indian. G.C. II. 22:595.
The following is a graceful palm "in general appearance not unlike the coconut palm, than which it is, however, much more graceful. The young leaves for the first year are bi-partite, quite like young coconut palms.
They should be grown in a warmhouse, never less than 60°, and should be given plenty of water at all seasons. A mixture of rich loam and peat or leaf-mold, half and half, makes the best medium for growth.
