INTRODUCTION

Given the tremendous success of our bamboo section we have begun this palm section in 2001, based on the same format. We hope that it will fulfill the need for multilingual nomenclature in Arecaceae / Palmae and that it will receive an equal welcome from the palm enthusiasts of the world. At worst it should prove itself as a very useful cross-index of palm names. Many parallels can be made between palms and bamboos. Like bamboos palms can be ornamental, edible in parts, and / or extremely useful in creating an atmosphere in a landscape. They can also be extremely useful in the context of sustainable or subsistence farming as multipurpose plants. It should be remembered though that like bamboos, palms are very sensitive to growing conditions, especially climate, and although they are unlikely to become weedy pests like bamboos, their growth can be disappointing when planted in the wrong spot. Our list of selected resources should help in locating valuable information on growing palms and sourcing seeds or seedlings.
