JUB^A JUGLANS 845 sheaths: Ivs. terminal, pinnatisect; segments spread- ing, linear-lanceolate, rigid; margins recurved; rachis laterally compressed, convex on the back, acute beneath; sheath short, open. Allied genera in cult, are Attalea, Cocos, Masimiliana and Scheelea, which are distin- guished chiefly by the staminate flls. In Jub^a the petals are lanceolate: stamens numerous, included, the anther cells connate: fr. 1-seeded. In Attalea the petals are lanceolate: stamens 10-21, included, anther cells con- nate: fr. 2-6-seeded.
