Corypha (This genus about half-a-dozen)

Of this genus about half-a-dozen species, natives of tropical Asia and the Malayan Archipelago, have been enumerated. Flowers small, hermaphrodite; spadix solitary, erect, paniculately much branched; spathes many, tubular, sheathing the peduncle and branches. To the species described on p. 386, Vol. I., the following should now be added: C. decora (decorative). l. fan-shaped, divided almost to the base into linear segments 1/2in. broad; petioles armed with hooked prickles. 1887. An ornamental Palm. In all probability this does not belong to the genus Corypha.
