GERMINATION OF THE CABBAGE PALM (Euterpe oleracea}.* 



BY DK. 0. F. P. VON MARTIUS, OF MUNICH. 



Euterpe Oleracea. 



IN the northern parts of Brdzi), the palms were so frequently ob- 

 served by us in every stage of their growth, that we had an opportu- 

 nity of sketching their progress from their germination to their time of 

 flowering (ad anthesin), such as we shall here figure for the sake of 

 agreeable variety.
