of E. oleracea : — “ It is the highest of the American 
palms. The sheaths of the leaves are very close, 
and form the green top of the trunk, a foot and a 
half in length. The inhabitants cut off this top, 
take out the white heart, of two or three inches in 
diameter, consisting of the leaves closely folded 
together, and eat it either raw, with pepper and 
salt, or fried with butter, like the artichoke.”
