Transcription: The Dom Palm grows in Upper Egypt. Its peculiarity is that when the stem reaches a few feet above the ground it bifurcates. It has then two stems and two heads- These in turn after growing a few feet bifurcate giving four stems and heads. Another repetition gives eight and so on- In fact it is a branching palm and every bracnh a complete palm tree.
