The leaves are in tufts, hence the derivation of the name, ukros, top, and Aowie, tuft. Linn. 21, Or. 6, Nat. t)r. Palinacea. This genus comprehends a portion of those majestic species of palms which, by their towering stems and gigantic foliage, soar to the he»glit of thirty or forty ieet, and give a feature of exquisite grandeur to the character of the countries they inliabit. They prefer a light sandy loam ; and to grow them well, an atmosphere very moist and warm is indis¬ pensable. They are increa.sed from suckers. A. aculeuta is reported to have a trunk the size of a man’s body, and the leaves prickly and longer than those of the Cocos. It produces a fruit the shajie and size of a crab, with a thin, sweetish, astringent pulp, within whii'li is a nut ini'losing a while sweet eaiahle kernel. C. J'usiJbrrnis. Sijnonymes: 1.
