GERMINATION OF THE CABBAGE PALM {Euterpe oleracea)* 



BY DR. C. F. P. VON MARTIUS, OF MUNICH. 



Euterpe Oleracea. 



In the northern parts of Brazil, the palms were so frequently ob- 

 served by us in every stage of their growth, that we had an opportu- 

 nity of sketching their progress from their germination to their time of 

 flowering (ad anthesin), such as we shall here figure for the sake of 

 agreeable variety.
