PLANTS IN THE PALM HOUSE 
(Continued from September Bulletin) 
Howea Belmoreana. Palmae. Curly palm. — A slender 
alm of Lord Howe Island, growing to a height of 35 feet. 
he leaves are 8 feet long, with numerous acuminate seg- 
ments. This is a very popular plant for conservatory and 
house use. 
Howea Forsteriana. Palmae. Flat-leaf palm.—An erect, 
spineless palm of Lord Howe Island. This is one of the 
most popular of the house palms and is grown commercially 
by the thousands. It is similar to H. Belmoreana, but the 
leaves are hanging instead of converging upward as in the 
latter species. 
Hydriastele Wendlandiana. Palmae.— A tall palm of 
Australia, with very long pinnate leaves. It is used orna- 
mentally in conservatories.
