Clinostigma (Greek, inclined stigma). Palmaceae, tribe Areceae. Low spineless palms with the habit and somewhat the appearance of small kentias; feather-leaved. Trunks not over 8 ft., usually conspicuously ringed: Lvs. usually 3-4 ft. long, rarely more, and pinnate; Lfts. scythe-shaped, or lanceolate, 2-parted or obliquely truncate at the apex, not revolute at the base; rachis scaly, convex beneath, grooved above: fls. monoecious in the same spadix, sessile along its branches, the male usually 2 together, the female solitary; spadix long and usually much branched; in the male there are 3 imbricate outer segms. and 3 valvate inner segms. to the perianth, with 6 stamens surrounding an abortive ovary: fr. obliquely globular.—Species 3, one from Austral., one from Samoa, and another from Fiji. Only the following is known in cult., and it is a rare palm. Its graceful Lvs. and convenient dwarf habit should commend it to the trade. For cult, see Kentia.
