Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture

Manicaria (name derived from the word for glove, because of the spathe). Palmaceae. Two or 3 species, or perhaps only 1, in Trop. S. Amer., little cult., allied to Geonoma. They are robust unarmed palms with more or less pinnatisect or entire lvs.: fls. large, rose-ochroleucous, heavy-scented, on many branching tomentose spadices: fr. very large. M. saccifera, Gaertn., has lvs. simple or split with age, dentate, 30 ft. long and 4-5 ft. broad, transversely furrowed, crowning an erect deeply ringed trunk: fls. of both sexes on the same spadix, the latter 3-4 ft. long: fr. 3-lobed. Lower Amazon and elsewhere. A striking palm with its immense simple lvs.
