ELEIS GUINEENSIS. (JACQ.)
ELE.—PALM-TREE.
[Illustration]
This species is spread all over South-America; it prefers cultivated
and sunny regions. Its trunk, which is from 25 to 30 feet high, is
covered by the persistent bases of the leaves. The top-leaves form a
thick tuft; they are large, pennate, with numerous folioles, ensiform,
alternate and sessile, attached to a strong rachis or spike the petioler
portion of which is garnished with long and sharp prickles. The flowers
are monœcious with a papyraceous perianthus having six divisions. The
male flowers have six stamens and three internal, erect and converging
folioles. They form ramose spathes in fusiform masses, placed between
the bases of the leaves. The female flowers are scattered; the ovary is
sub-cylindrical, surmounted by a short style with a bilobate stigma. The
fruit is oval, oleaginous, of a reddish yellow, surrounded by a hard and
angular pericarp. We have had it drawn of a large size in comparison to
the tree.
The fruit is triturated.
