A MAGNIFICENT AVENUE OF ROYAL PALMS. 



This is undoubtedly one of the most superb avenues in the world, and a splendid example 

 of the effects which can be obtained through the use of palms. The species here shown is not 

 the same as the Royal Palm of Cuba, but is Oreodoxa oleracea, the palmiste of the French West 

 Indies, where it is native. Botanic Garden, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. (Fig. 25)
