The nipa palm is one of the handsomest as well 

 as most useful palms of the Malayan region. It 

 grows in the brackish and quite salty waters on the 

 coasts everywhere. (Fairchild.) According to 

 Brown and Merrill (Philippine Palms and Palm. 

 Products, p. 98), the nipa palm has a stout, creep- 

 ing underground stem, and the pinnate leaves,, 

 which are in erect clusters, are 7 meters or more in 

 length. The flat fruits, 5 inches long, 4 inchesr 

 wide, and 2 inches thick, are crowded in a large, 

 round head which is borne on a special erect stalk. 

 The juice obtained by cutting this stalk just below 

 the fruiting head is a very promising source of sugar 

 and alcohol. The leaves are extensively used fos 

 thatching and for making baskets and mats.
