	Palm Trees - all about palm trees
		Palm tree stems are not more complicated in structure than those of the common butcher’s broom (Ruscus); their flowers are for the most part as simple as those of a rush (Juncus).
		It is very characteristic of some palms to produce from the base of the stem a series of adventitious roots which gradually thrust themselves into the soil and serve to steady the tree and prevent its overthrow by the wind.
		The leaves of palms are either arranged at more or less distant intervals along the stem, as in the canes, or are approximated in tufts at the end of the stem, I thus forming those noble crowns of foliage which are so closely associated with the general idea of a palm.

	Chapter 1: Introduction
		The stereotypical tropical paradise of a small island or a stretch of white sand beach with overhanging coconut palms is appropriate, since palms reach their greatest proliferation in the tropics and are widely distributed in warmer zones of the world with high levels of rainfall.
		Palms range in size from the diminutive Paraguayan lilliput palm, Syagrus lilliputiana (thought to be extinct), that measures 10-15 cm (4-5 in) tall at maturity to the giant wax palms of the Andes ( Ceroxylon quindinense and C.
		Many palm species have been forced to the brink of extinction by the collection of cabbage (palm heart is considered a delicacy), of leaves for thatch or animal fodder, and, more recently, of seeds for sale to nurseries and palm enthusiasts.

		Everyone who collects palms has certainly had the experience of making a "find" in a nursery, knowing in his or her heart that this is an unusual plant, and asking the nurseryman for an identification, often to be told that the plant is a "Fan palm".
		This category includes those palms which have been in the trade for years, and which are often sold under what appear to be botanically correct names but are not, often, because the names are invalid...
		But there is a clear advantage to employing botanical names for less common palms, as well as in knowing the common names that are applied to a any of the more common palms.
