Text Appearing Before Image:
Habitat,—Bahamas; Jamaica, common in the mountains,Trinidad, Cuba, and other Antilles. Uses.—The heart is made into pickles, or when boiled isserved at table. The trunks serve as gutterings. The pithfurnishes a kind of sago, and the nuts yield oil by decoction.The wood is very hard, but so thin that it is only fit for walking-sticks or ramrods. The leaf-sheaths, after falling ofi, are woodylike deal. When the leaves are cut off green, the inside skinof the sheaths, if dried, looks like vellum; this bears ink verywell on one side, on the other it seems greasy. Twenty largesheaths may be procured from one trunk. In their native countrythe broad part of the footstalks forms a hollow trough orcradle for children; when cut up it makes excellent splints forfractures. Illustration.—The magnificent avenue of Cabbage palms(Oreodoxa oleracect), pictured on plate LXI, was photographed byMr. Macmillan in the Botanic Gardens of Peradeniya, The stems JouRN. Bombay Nat.
