PLANT MATERIAL INTRODUCED 



124264 — Continued. 



A palm collected on the slope of a volcano 

 at 6,000 feet, above the line of occasional 

 frosts. One of the forest undergrowth palms, 

 probably requiring little heat but shade and 

 moisture. The geonomas are slender spine- 

 less palms with a ringed, reedlike stem and 

 with more or less pinnatisect leaves usually 

 crowded in a showy terminal cluster. 



124265. Styloma pactfica (Seem, and 



Wendl.) O. F. Cook. Phoenicaceae. 



Fiji fan palm. 



Prom Virginia Key, near Miami, Fla. Seeds 

 collected by David Fairchild on the estate 

 of Hugh Matheson. Received June 11, 

 1937. 



A handsome tropical fan-leaved palm from 

 the Fiji Islands. Sometimes planted around 

 Miami, though seldom fruiting ; often con- 

 fused with Styloma thurstonii, a smaller spe- 

 cies much more common in southern Florida 

 and often fruiting. The fruits of 8. pacifica 

 are nearly half an inch in diameter, deep 

 purple at maturity, and are borne in large 

 clusters among the leaves, the inflorescences 

 being much shorter than those of S. thurstonii, 

 which often project far beyond the leaves or 

 droop nearly to the ground.
