Book Description
Excerpt from Ferns of Royal Palm Hammock: Descriptions and Illustrations of the Ferns and Fern-Allies Growing Naturally in Royal Palm Hammock and the Adjacent Everglades The vegetation, both herbaceous and woody, has had nearly uninterrupted growth for ages. This con dition, perhaps, accounts for the continued presence of the royal-palms. The decaying leaves, the large in orescences, and the fruits, falling at the very base of the palm, on account of the unbranched trunk, form mounds of humus larger and higher than' do any of the hardwood trees with their widely spreading branches. Upon such a gradually increasing mound a gigantic palm, is, from year to year, raised higher and higher on humus formed from its own tissues. These mounds of humus would furnish ideal fuel, and the palm, although able to resist fire above the roots, could not exist, or even' stand up, if the humus were burned away. As it is, it seems nothing short of a miracle that the slender trunks over one hundred feet tall with the massive crown of leaves and spadices can withstand the winds of ordinary storms, not to mention hurricanes.
