Botany. XXIII. PALM^. 817 ^-1,- Tribe II. GALAME^. Sarmentose or arborescent plants. Leaves pinnate or palmate-flabellate, often terminating in a long appendage armed with hooks; pinnules with decurved margias. Spathe usually polyphyllous, rarely monophyllous. Spadices branched. Flowers usually diclinous, sessile; bracts and bracteoles enveloping the flowers, and simula- ting an amentaceous inflorescence. Stamens hypogynous or perigynous. Fruit a berry covered with imbricate quadrate scales, which are at first erect, then recurved; albumen homogeneous or ruminate. Embryo lateral or sub-basilar. ' Calamus. Plectocomid. PRINCIPAL GENERA. Zalacca. Daemonorops. * Sagus. Mauritia, Tribe III. BOBASSINE^. Trees with palmate-flabel- late or pinnate leaves; pin- nules of the flabellate with erect margins. Spathes woody or fibrous, reticulate {Manicaria), imperfect and sheathing the base of the spa- dices, or perfect, and com- pletely enveloping them. Flowers usually dioecious, the i nearly glumaceous in texture, sunk in the pits formed on the spadix by the union of the bracts, and presenting an amen- taceous appearance. Stamens hyppgynous. Fruit a drupe, rarely ; albumen homo- geneous. Embryo usually apical. PRINCIPAL GENERA. Borassus. •Latania. Hypisene. QeoDoma. Manicaria. Bentinckia. Tribe IV. COBYPHINE^. Trees or stemless plants. Leaves usually palmate-flabel- late, very rarely pinnate {Fhce- nix) ; pinnules with erect. Bhapis
