Not illustrated. 1916 Excerpt: ... They grow more rapidly when they attain to some size and are perfectly at home in partial shade or sunshine and in all soils from damp muck to high pine land. Pseudophoenix sargenti is a pinnate leaVed palm which has been found in a wild state on Elliott's Key and, according to Sargent, on the east end of Key Largo near the northern shore. It is a rather slender, stiff looking palm with very dark green foliage, and though a striking tree is not nearly so ornamental as some of our other native palms. I understand that it is practically extinct in the localities I have given as many specimens have been dug up and taken away to be planted, but it does well in cultivation.

I found a single specimen of what I suppose is this species back of Flamingo, near Whitewater Bay. A. wrighti is found in similar situations to the last along the south coast of the mainland. It grows in immense clumps fifty feet or more across and thirty feet high, and when seen in such masses it is a beautiful object.

It is cultivated occasionally as far north as Manatee on the west coast and Fort Pierce on the east coast.
