Sabal Raphipholia
''Sabal'' is a genus of New World palms (or fan-palms). Currently, there are 17 recognized species of ''Sabal'', including one hybrid species. Distribution The species are native to the subtropical and tropical regions of the Americas, from the Gulf Coast/South Atlantic states in the Southeastern United States, south through the Caribbean, Mexico, and Central America to Colombia and Venezuela. Description Members of this genus are typically identified by the leaves which originate from a bare, unarmed petiole in a fan-like structure. All members of this genus have a costa (or midrib) that extends into the leaf blade. This midrib can vary in length; and it is due to this variation that leaf blades of certain species of ''Sabal'' are strongly curved or strongly costapalmate (as in ''Sabal palmetto'' and ''Sabal etonia'') or weakly curved (almost flattened), weakly costapalmate (as in ''Sabal minor''). Like many other palms, the fruit of ''Sabal'' are drupe, that typically ch ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Sabal Palmetto
''Sabal palmetto'' (, ''Help:Pronunciation respelling key, SAY-bəl''), also known as cabbage palm, cabbage palmetto, sabal palm, blue palmetto, Carolina palmetto, common palmetto, Garfield's tree, and swamp cabbage, is one of 15 species of Sabal, palmetto Arecaceae, palm. It is native to the Southeast United States, the Yucatán Peninsula in Mexico, the West Indies, and the Bahamas. Description ''Sabal palmetto'' grows up to tall, with the tallest on record measuring at 93 feet tall. Starting at half to two-thirds the height, the tree develops into a rounded, costapalmate fan of numerous leaflet (botany), leaflets. A costapalmate leaf has a definite costa (midrib), unlike the typical palmate or fan leaf, but the leaflets are arranged radially like in a palmate leaf. All costapalmate leaves are about across, produced in large compound panicles up to in radius, extending out beyond the leaves. The fruit is a black drupe about long containing a single seed. It is extremely Halo ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Chamaerops
''Chamaerops'' is a genus of flowering plants in the family Arecaceae. It contains only one species, ''Chamaerops humilis'', variously called European fan palm or the Mediterranean dwarf palm. It is one of the most cold-hardy palms and is used in landscaping in temperate climates. Taxonomy Apart from the universally accepted ''Chamaerops humilis,'' there are a few potential taxa of unresolved status, plus numerous species synonymised under ''Chamaerops humilis''. The genus ''Chamaerops'' is closely related to the genus ''Trachycarpus''. The genera differ in that ''Trachycarpus'' lacks the clumping habit (only forms single stems without basal suckers), the spiny leaf stems (spineless in ''Trachycarpus''), and in small details of the flower anatomy. Subspecies The species ''Chamaerops humilis'' itself has two accepted varieties as follows: *''Chamaerops humilis'' var. ''argentea'' André (syn. ''C. h.'' var. ''cerifera'') – "Atlas mountains palm" of Northwest Africa. Leaves ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Sabal Mauritiiformis
''Sabal mauritiiformis'', commonly known as the Savannah palm, is a species of flowering plant in the family ''Arecaceae''. It grows in Mexico (Oaxaca, Chiapas, Campeche, Quintana Roo, Tabasco, Veracruz), Central America, Colombia, Venezuela and Trinidad. Description ''Sabal mauritiiformis'' is a fan palm with solitary, slender stems, which is usually tall and in diameter. Plants have about 10–25 leaves, each with 90–150 leaflets. The inflorescences, which are branched and longer than the leaves, bear pear-shaped to globose, black fruit. The fruit are in diameter.
