D2EMONOROPS PALEMBANICTTS. 
One of the most elegant of Palms, and, together with D. pmacanthw, exceedingly appropriate for 
table decoration and other ornamental purposes. The leaves are broadly ovate, pinnate, consisting of 
numerous narrow elongated segments, and they are supported by leaf-stalks bearing numerous deflexed 
spines, which latter are thickened at the base. The young leaves are of a bright cinnamon brown, 
and the contrast between this warm colour and the deep green of the matured leaves renders the 
plants exceedingly beautiful at the time they are in course of developemont. It is a native of Java.
