Syagrus romanzoffiana (syn. Cocos plumosa, Hook. and Cocos Romanzoffiana, Cham.) St. 30-36 ft. high, 10-12 in. thick, ringed at intervals of a foot, clothed near the apex with remnants of the dead petioles: Lvs. erect-spreading, 12-15 ft. long, recurving; petiole a third to half as long as the blade; segms. linear-acuminate, sparse, solitary or mostly in groups of 2-4, 1½ ft. long, deflexed near the apex: spadix usually 3 ft. long and much branched, the branchlets pendular. Cent. Brazil. B.M. 5180.—The chief avenue palm of the genus. A quick grower, ultimately 50 ft. high in S. Fla. and Calif. The slender smooth lobes and heads of graceful recurving Lvs. make this a very attractive tree. CH Possibly conflicting info: Sts. 30-40 ft. high, somewhat fusiform above: Lvs. about half as long as the caudex, the withered ones deflexed, pendent, the upper spreading, often arching; segms. conduplicate at the base, ensiform: spadix about 6 ft. long, at first inclosed in a stout pendulous spathe which appears among the lowest Lvs. S. Brazil near the sea.CH More possibly conflicting info: Cocos australis, Mart. Pindo Palm. Height about 30 ft.: st. erect, columnar, equal, strongly annular above: Lvs. 9-12 ft. long, the sheath fibrous and glabrous; petiole naked; Begins, linear, glaucous, rather rigid: fr. as large as a pigeon's egg, outer pulp sweet, edible, seed oily. Paraguay. G.C. III. 18:739. A.F. 5:515; 7:805. R.H. 1876, p. 155.—A good grower. Cult, under glass and outdoors in Fla. and Calif. CH Cocos Datil, Drude & Griseb. St. 30 ft. high, 8-12 in. diam.: Lvs. 12-15 ft. long; sheath about 16 in. long; petiole 1½ ft. long, 1⅔ in. wide, ⅔in. thick; segms. linear-acuminate, glaucous, densely crowded in groups of 3 or 4, 150-160 on each side, the lowest 2 ft., middle 2⅓ ft. and apical 1 ft., the uppermost filiform, all narrow, stiff and rigid, the dried Lvs. glaucous green or whitish: spadix 3-3½ ft. long with at least 300 spirally twisted branches. Argentina; isls. and river banks.— The frs. are edible, resembling those of the date palm. Hardier in S. Calif, than C. plumosa, C. flexuosa, and C. Romanzoffiana. CH
