24 THE FLORAL WORLD AND GARDEN GUIDE. 



Cliamcedorea graminifolia. — A slender stemmed palm with long 

 curved foliage. Its delicate plumose appearance renders it attrac- 

 tive, and of great value as a decorative plant. 



Ghamcedorea Wendlandii. — Leaves deep glossy green, gracefully 

 arched, very beautiful. 



Chamcerops JFortunei. — One of the most handsome fan palms for 

 greenhouses, conservatories, and indoor apartments. In sheltered 

 situations it is quite hardy. 



Chamcerops liumilis. — This also is very hardy in constitution and 

 handsome in appearance. The leaves are fan-shaped, and of a dull 

 green colour. This and the preceding are now very cheap. 



Cocoa Weddeliana, syn. Leopoldina pidchra. — This is of all palms 

 perhaps the most beautiful. It is of a dwarf, compact habit, with 

 gracefully arched plumose fronds of a dark glossy green colour. It 

 is from Brazil, and does well in a warm greenhouse. It is one of 

 the very best that can be used for dinner-table decoration, but is at 

 present too expensive to admit of its being employed extensively for 

 that purpose. 



Coryplia australis. — Although not so beautiful as many of the 

 stove palms, this species is very desirable. It is well adapted for in- 

 door apartments, being very neat in growth and hardy in constitution. 



Dcemonorops accidens. — A neat-growing species of the most grace- 

 ful outline, as will be seen by the accompanying sketch. The leaves 

 are of a bright glossy green, and very effective in appearance when 

 under the influence of artificial light. It must have the assistance 

 of a stove temperature to grow it satisfactorily. 



Dcemonorops plumosa. — Like the preceding, of most elegant 

 growth, and one of the very best palms for table decoration. It 

 requires stove temperature. 



Euterpe edulis. — For lofty houses and for table decoration, in a 

 young state, this is one of the most useful. The leaves are pinnate 

 and gracefully arch outwards. Well-developed specimens four or 

 five feet in height may be grown in six and eight-inch pots. Should 

 be placed in the stove. 



Geonoma Ghiesbreclitiana. — A highly ornamental species, with 

 irregular pinnate foliage ; very elegant. Requires the warmth of a 

 stove. 



Latania borbonica. — This fine and well-known species is not so 

 valuable for the table as those of a more plumose habit of growth, 

 but it is one of the most ornamental and useful species grown for 

 the conservatory, vestibule, and sitting-room. The leaves are fan- 

 shaped, spreading, and of a pleasing shade of light green. 



Licuala pieltata. — Leaves dark glossy green, five or six lobed, the 

 lobes being toothed at the apex ; petioles spinose. Very distinct, 

 and well worthy of extensive cultivation. Must be grown in the 

 stove. 



Livistonia australis. — A beautiful fan-leaved species, well adapted 

 for the decoration of sitting-rooms or as a window plant, being of a 

 highly ornate character, and possessing a most robust constitution. 

 Does well in the greenhouse. 



. Malortica simplex, syn. Geonoma fenestralis. — This is a dwarf and
