Dypsis (obscure name). Palmaceae, tribe Areceae. Madagascar palms that have been poorly described, are little known and of scarcely any horticultural significance. They are all small, unarmed palms, with reed like sts.: lvs. terminal, entire, bifid at the apex or pinnatisect; segms. split at the apex or irregularly toothed, the apical one confluent; sheath short: spadices long, loosely lid.: fr. small, oblong or ovoid, straight or curved, oblique at base.—Perhaps half a dozen species. No species of Dypsis are common in cultivation, as they possess but little beauty. They are among the easiest and quickest to germinate. AU of them require a stove temperature. D. madagascariensis, Nichols. is also known as Areca madagascariensis, Mart., and is so treated here. D. pinnatifrons, Mart. (A. gracilis, Thouars), is one of several plants that have been known as Areca gracilis. It is a pretty palm, now grown in large quantities by some dealers. G.C. II. 24:394. The genus is closely related to Chamaedorea. N. Taylor.
