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. Two species of fan palms belonging to the genus Acoelorraphe are found growing in almost inaccessible swamps in extreme South Florida. A. arborescens belongs to the Chokoloskee River region and reaches a height of forty feet with more or less recumbent or erect stems, often in clusters. 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. The latter species is growing finely in moist ground at Mr. John Soar's place and without doubt the former would succeed in a like situation. Lastly the coconut (Cocos nucifera) has been completely naturalized on the Florida Keys and the lower mainland. It is cultivated occasionally as far north as Manatee on the west coast and Fort Pierce on the east coast. No words can adequately describe the beauty of this palm, which is as fine and vigorous in many of the lower Floridian localities as it i...
