PLATE 2 — Small colony of saw-cabbage palm in hammock near 

 shore of Cuthbert Lake. Colonies of this palm often comprise 

 scores or hundreds of stems so closely set as to be impenetrable. 

 The new stems are stocky and leafy throughout; the older stems 

 very slender and naked except for the terminal crown of leaves. 

 The flower-stalks, in spring, are erect or ascending and project 

 above the crown of leaves. In fall, the masses of bright-colored 

 fruit-clusters constitute an impressive sight.
