AN INDEX TO PALMS, CYCADS, BAMBOOQS, AND 
SCREW-PINES. 
Per the decoration of glass-houses Palms and Cycads form prominent objects; while for 
sub-tropical gardening some of the Palms and the Bamboos are indispensable. 
The lists 
here giyen comprise the choicest and most useful species of the Natural Orders Arundinacee, 
Cycadacee, Palme, and Pandanew, as well as some of the taller specimens of Graminec. 
The heights attained by the plants in their native countries are, where known, given in feet. 
For information on Palms and their uses, and general instructions for their cultivation, the
