vide. As all the plants of this fort which I have feen 
flower were male, I cannot give any particular de- 
fcription of their fructification. 
This plant is commonly propagated here by heads, 
which femetimes feparate from the main root ; if thefe 
are carefully taken off with fibres and planted, they 
will grow - 5 but the plants fo raifed are not fo good 
as thofe which are produced from feeds ^ fo that if 
good feeds can be procured, that is by much the bet- 
ter way to propagate them. The feeds fhould be 
fown in fmall pots filled with light fandy earth, and 
plunged into a moderate hot-bed of tanners bark ; 
thefe muff be refreflied now and then with water. 
If the feeds are frefh, the plants will come up in two 
months •, thefe rife with a Engle long-pointed leaf. 
When they appear they muft be now and then re- 
frefhed with water, but they muft not have it in too 
great plenty. If the plants are not too clofe to each 
other in the pots, they will not require to be tranf- 
p: anted the firft year ; therefore they fhould remain 
in the fan-bed all the fumimer, but in warm weather 
they muft have plenty of air admitted to them. In 
autumn the pots fhould be removed into the drove, 
and, if they are plunged into the bark-bed the firft 
winter, it will greatly forward the growth of the 
plants. The following fpring the plants fhould be 
carefully turned out of the pots, fo as to preferve 
their roots entire ; for all the forts of Palms have ten- 
der roots, which, if they are cut off or broken, fre- 
quently kill the plants : then they fhould be each 
planted into a feparate fmall pot filled with light, Tan- 
dy, undunged earth, and plunged into a frefh hot- 
bed to encourage their taking root ; the following 
fummer they fhould be gradually hardened, by raid- 
ing the glaffes pretty high, fo as to admit a large 
fhare of air to them, but they fhould not yet be wholly 
expofed to the open air. The autumn following the 
plants may be placed in a dry ftove ; but as the plants 
advance and get ftrength, they may be treated more 
hardily, and in fummer placed in the open air in a 
warm fituation, and in winter may be, preferved in a 
warm green-houfe without artificial heat 
As the plants advance in growth, they fhould be put 
into larger pots ; but when this is done, there muft 
be great care taken, that their roots are not cut 'or 
broken, nor fhould they have pots too large. In 
winter they muft have but little water, and if they 
are expofed to the open air in fummer, they will not 
require much, unlefs the feafon proves very warm and 
dry, in which cafe they may be fparingly watered 
two or three times a week. 
The fecond fort grows naturally in the Weft Indies, 
where it never rifes with a ftem ; the foot-ftalks of 
the leaves are rounder than thofe of the former, and 
have no fpines on their fides. When the plants are 
old their leaves are three or four feet long, and up- 
ward of two broad ; thefe are folded in the fame man- 
ner as thofe of the firft, but the folds are broader, 
and the leaves are of a darker green ■, fome of thefe 
plants have put Out (lender bunches of male flowers 
in England, which were too imperfect to form a de- 
fcription. 
This fort rifes freely from feeds, which may be eafily 
procured from the iflands in America ^ thefe muft be 
fown in the fame manner as the former, and the plants 
treated in the fame way ; but as they are natives of 
a warmer climate, they fhould be conftantly kept in 
the bark-ftove, where, if they are carefully managed, 
they will make good progrefs. 
I have received feeds from Carolina of a Dwarf Palm, 
which is very like this, if not the fame ; but the plants 
do not make fo good progrefs here, as thofe which 
came from Jamaica; the berries were fo like, that I 
could not diftinguifh them ; but as the plants ad- 
vance, if they are different, it will appear.

The Characters are, 
It hath a flour-leaved comprejfled $k f dement ; the two 
outer leaves are f 'welling at their kafe. The flower hath 
four petals placed in flotm of a crofls ■, thefe are longer than 
the empalement. It hath fix parallel /minim , which are 
the length of the empalement, two of which are between 
the j welling leaves of the einpalernent , the other are a little 
floor ter, and are terminated bp efett bifid furnmits , which 
are reflexed at the top. It hath a four-cornered priflmatic 
germen as long as the Jlamina , fupporting a very floort 
comprejfled Jlyle, crowned with an oblong divided fligma, 
which is reflexed and permanent. The germen afterward 
becomes a long comprejfled pod with two cells , opening with 
two valves, filled with comprejfled feeds. 
This genus of plants is ranged in the fecond feeftion 
of Linnaeus’s fifteenth clafs, inti tied Tetrandynamia 
filiquofa, the flowers having two long and four fliorter 
ftamina, and the feeds are lodged in long pods.
