The Arecaceae (/ ˌ ær ə ˈ k eɪ s i. iː,-ˌ aɪ /) is a family of perennial, flowering plants in the monocot order Arecales.Their growth form can be climbers, shrubs, tree-like and stemless plants, all commonly known as palms.
Date palm leaves are used for Palm Sunday in the Christian religion. Many Jewish scholars believe that the "honey" reference in Exodus chapter 3 to "a land flowing with milk and honey" is actually a reference to date "honey", and not honey from bees. [51] In the Torah, palm trees are referenced as symbols of prosperity and triumph. [52]
Sabal palmetto grows up to 20 m (80 ft) tall. [8] Starting at half to two-thirds the height, the tree develops into a rounded, costapalmate fan of numerous leaflets.A costapalmate leaf has a definite costa (midrib), unlike the typical palmate or fan leaf, but the leaflets are arranged radially like in a palmate leaf.
The needle palm assumes a shrublike clumping form with several stems growing from a single base, the stems growing very slowly and tightly together, eventually forming a dense base 1–1.2 m (3.3–3.9 ft) tall, with numerous sharp needle-like spines produced between the leaves; these are 10–25 cm (3.9–9.8 in) long and protect the stem growing point from browsing animals.
Borassus flabellifer is a robust tree and can reach a height of 30 metres (98 ft). The trunk is grey, robust, and ringed with leaf scars; old leaves remain attached to the trunk for several years before falling cleanly. The leaves are fan-shaped, and 3 m (9.8 ft) long, with robust black teeth on the petiole margins.
Saw palmetto is a fan palm, with the leaves that have a bare petiole terminating in a rounded fan of about 20 leaflets. The petiole is armed with fine, sharp teeth or spines that give the species its common name. The teeth or spines are easily capable of breaking the skin, and protection should be worn when working around a saw palmetto.
It is a fan palm (Arecaceae tribe Corypheae), and as such, has leaves with petioles terminating in rounded fans of 10–20 leaflets. Each leaf is up to 1.5 m (5 ft) long, with leaflets 50–80 cm (20–30 in) long. The petioles are armed with numerous sharp, needle-like spines; these may protect the stem growing point from browsing animals.
The Canary Island date palm differs from the date palm in having a stouter trunk, more leaves to the crown, more closely spaced leaflets, and deep green rather than grey-green leaves. The fruit of P. canariensis is edible, but rarely eaten by humans because of their small size and thin flesh.
