ANALYTICAL KEY
TO THE GENERA OF PLANTS INCLUDED IN THIS BOOK, BASED CHIEFLY ON THE
CHARACTER OF THE LEAVES
I. Leaves parallel-veined, alternate, persistent, clustered at the end
of the stem or branches. Monocotyledons.
Stem simple; leaves stalked.
Leaves fan-shaped.
Leaf stalks unarmed.
Rachis short; leaves usually silvery white below.
Leaves 2°—4° in diameter (_green below in No. 2_), their
segments undivided at apex.
Thrinax (p. 96).
Leaves 18′—24′ in diameter, their segments divided at apex.
Coccothrinax (p. 100).
Rachis elongated; leaves green below, their segments divided at
apex.
Sabal (p. 101).
Leaf stalks armed with marginal teeth or spines.
Leaf stalks furnished irregularly with broad thin large and
small, straight or hooked spines confluent into a thin
bright orange-colored cartilaginous margin; leaves longer
than wide, divided nearly to the middle into segments
parted at apex and separating on the margins into thin
fibres.
Washingtonia (p. 104).
Leaf stalks furnished with stout or slender flattened teeth;
leaves suborbicular, divided to the middle or nearly to
the base into segments parted at apex; segments of the
blade not separating on the margin into thin fibres.
Acœlorraphe (p. 105).
Leaves pinnate.
Leaves 10°—12° in length, their pinnæ 2½°—3° long and often 1½°
