Iriartea (after Bernard Iriarte). Palmaceae. Tall spineless palms, with cylindrical or swollen stems supported on a pyramid of exposed roots. Leaves few, unequally pinnate; lfts. equilateral, cuneate, entire or erose, plicate; petiole channelled; sheath cylindrical: fls. small: fr. 1-2 in. long: stigmas eccentric or lateral in fr. This palm is separated from Ceroxylon by the cuneate lfts.—Species 10. Trop. S. Amer. I. bungerothii was advertised in 1895 as Triartea, which was presumably a typographical error for Iriartea. This is a horticultural name for I. exorrhiza,. Mart., but the plant is in cultivation under the former name.
