Trachycarpus excelsa, H. Wendl. (T. Fortunei, H. Wendl. Chamaerops excelsa, Thunb. C. Fortunei, Hook. f.). Fortune's Palm. Fig. 3827. Trunk robust, clothed with old lf.-sheaths: lvs. nearly orbicular; segms. numerous, ensiform: fls. clustered 2-4 on a tubercle: fr. transversely globose-reniform, deeply umbilicate. Upper Burma, China, and Japan; will grow in the open in Ga., withstanding 10° F.—This description follows Beccari, who refers T. Fortunei to T. excelsa. Hooker in founding T. Fortunei (B.M. 5221) speaks of it as a more robust tree than T. excelsa. The latter (which is from Japan) is said to have smaller and stiffer lvs., less deeply divided (usually only about to middle) with stiff segms., while T. Fortunei (China) has lvs. divided much below the middle (as in Fig. 3827), and the segms. more flaccid at least in older lvs. This group needs further study botanically, and also horticulturally in this country. ^CH The above text is from the Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture.
