Text Appearing Before Image:
adix, surrounded by a conspicuous spathe, orsheath. Both families have berry-like fruit, sometimes hard-ened outside. Of palms there are now recognised over one hundred generaand about one thousand species. Botanically, the family is anold one, and on the decline. Fossils of Tertiary rocks show whatit was in its prime. Three hundred and sixty distinct and impor-tant uses are credited to palms by Evelyn. No human need butthey supply in the primitive life of tropical people. In the com-merce of the world they play no mean part. In the tropics, housesare built and furnished throughout from the native palms. Theirleaves thatch the walls and roofs. They supply thread for weavingcloth, ropes, fish nets and lines, mats, fans, shields and hats.Spines furnish needles and barbed fishhooks. Sap gives wine,sugar and wax. Stems give fresh salads and sago for food, andwands for basketwork and furniture. Fruits of palms includecocoanuts, dates, and some of these yield chocolate and valuableoils. 118
