 & ^:-*' The palms are the Princes of the 

 vegetable kingdom." 



" The palms are considered the nob- 

 lest of all the forms of vegetation. 



The palm has ever been the queen of 

 the woods, not only on account of the 

 beauty of its form, but of its extra- 

 ordinary utility. No other family of 

 plants possesses such enormous powers 

 of producing fruit." 



{Bot. Geo. Meyen. p. 121, 331.) 

 " The plants of this order far surpass 

 all other plants in the grandeur and 

 ma,jesty of their part. The noble forms 

 of Palm declare its superiority over any 

 other trees." 



{Chester Macnaghten on Palmece.) 

 " The green colour of the leaves [of 

 the Palms ] is sometimes deep and shin- 

 ing, sometimes of a silvery white upon 

 the under side. Now and then the 

 middle of the fan-shaped leaf is decorat- 

 ed with concentric yellow and blue 

 streaks, like the peacock's tail."

" Of all orders of plants, there is none, 

 with the exception of that of the Grasses, 



so valuable to man as regards their 

 dietetical and economical applications as 

 that of the Palms."
