RHAPIS. Very distinct Palms, of an exceedingly ele- 
gant habit, with segmental foliage of a rich color and 
great hardiness. No better decorative plants are grown. 
R. flabelliforinis. A very beautiful 
Palm, with slender, graceful leaf- 
stems, and five to seven cleft, some- 
what plaited leaves. The main- 
stems are curious and pretty, rather 
low - growing, forming jilants of 
most convenient size, which are 
very well adapted to withstand the 
trials which befall decorative plants.
