Synopsis
Excerpt from The Ornamental Trees of Hawaii
The nomenclature has been kept strictly in accordance with the laws laid down by the last Botanical Congress held at Vienna in 1905 and not according to horticultural dealers or gardeners, who simply apply a familiar name to a plant for the sole purpose of selling it more easily. 'this accounts for the many species of Kentia, while in reality none of the palms on the market as such have anything whatsoever in common with species of that rare genus. Nomenclature of such type belongs to commercial botany.
