Opsiandra Cook gen. nov. in Journ. Washington Acad. Sci. XIII (1923) p. 181. 
The generie name refers to the persistence of the staminate flowers 
and buds which are to be found in fresh condition on the same inflore- 
scences with ripe fruits. This may indicate an extreme condition of 
proterogyny or a continued production of staminate flowers through 
a long period. Monoecious palms may be considered as proterogynous 
if the stigmas are exposed before pollen is shed from the staminate flowers 
of the same inflorescence. Drude alludes to the opposite relation, of female 
flowers developed after the male flowers have withered. The difference 
usually would by only a few hours, or at most a few days, whereas several 
weeks must be required, or possibly months, for the fruits of Opsiandra 
to grow and ripen, while staminate buds and flowers are still present.
