A genus of elegant pinnate-leaved Palms, which are widely distributed over the earth, some of the species being found in the East Indies, while others occur in the West. They exist also in the islands of Mau- ritius and its dependencies, in the island of Madagascar, in New Zealand, and in Aus- tralia. The genus Areca is characterized by its branching spadix and double spathe, which fully encloses the flowers; these latter are unisexual, but borne upon the same spike, the female blooms having six rudimentary stamens, while the male flow- ers have a six-cleft perianth; fruit one- seeded.
