| You are asking for trouble using common names linda but some descriptions of trees with those common names follow. Go to the palm and cycad website for more info: Caryota rumphiana (fishtail palm) A solitary stemmed tree to 15m. with the mode at around 10-12m, leaves bipinnate, to 7m long but usually 3-5m. Flowers on apical and axillary bracteate inflorescences with a rachis bearing many simple rachillae to 2m long. Flowers unisexual, dimorphic in triads of two staminate (male) and one pistillate (female) flowers. Fruits when ripe globose, reddish pink, 2-3.5c m diam. with one to three smooth black seeds. Wodyetia bifurcata (foxtail palm) Very attractive palm with long (2-3m.) plumose leaves (hence the name 'Foxtail'), and up to 10m tall with a grey trunk. It produces large (about the size of a duck egg) orange fruit. |
