Clino stigma Mooreanum, F. v. Mueller. (Kentia Mooreana, F. v. M.) 



Dwarf Palm of Lord Howe's Island, where it occurs only on the 

 summits of the mountains. Likely to prove one of the hardiest of 

 all Palms.

 size, fit for sandy sea-shores. The dark-blue sweet or acidulous 

 berries are edible. A kind of kino is obtained from the bark ; the 

 wood yields a red dye. Dr. Rosenthal notes as yielding likewise edible 

 fruits: C. nivea (Jacq.), C. pubescens (L.), C. excoriata (L.), C. 

 flavescens (Jacq.), C. diversifolia (Jacq.) C. Leoganensis (Jacq.) is

 Danica, valuable as an antiscorbutic, hence deserving naturalisa- 

 tion. It contains a peculiar volatile oil.

From Brazil to Uruguay and the La Plata States. One of the 

 hardiest of all Palms, hardier than even the Date Palm, with-
