''Trithrinax'' is a genus of few flowering plants in the Arecaceae family, that belong to the Coryphoideae subfamily, a not very evolved lineage. The name is derived of ancient Greek, where ''tri'' means three, and ''thrinax'' trident. It was named as such in 1837 by Carl Friedrich Philipp von Martius a German botanist and explorer.〔Moore, H. E., Jr. 1963. An annotated checklist of cultivated palms.〕 ''Trithrinax'' species are quite spiny fan palms native to South America. They are also resistant to cold, heat, wind, drought, poor soils and other adverse environmental conditions. They germinate fast but their growth is distinctively slow.〔Riffle, Robert L. and Craft, Paul (2003) ''An Encyclopedia of Cultivated Palms''. Portland: Timber Press. ISBN 0-88192-558-6 / ISBN 978-0-88192-558-6〕 ==Description== Common features of any Trithrinax specimen are: *''Flowers'': Inflorescences, in the order of hundreds of units. Three sepals, three petals, six stamens and three carpels. *''Stem'': Dead foliage is kept as a thick and spiny coat around it. *''Leaves'': Fan shaped, composed of strong resistant fibers. *''Shoots'': Red coloured. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Trithrinax」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
