Welcome to the '''PACSOA''' website and wiki, one of the internet's most comprehensive resources about palms and cycads. This web site includes extensive information on palm and cycad species, their horticulture, details about society membership, society activities, and links to other sites.<br />
<br />
The '''Palm & Cycad Society of Australia Inc.''' ('''PACSOA''') is a group of affiliated, semi-autonomous, regional Palm and/or Cycad Societies headed by a Board presently based in Brisbane, Queensland. The Society has a '''[https://www.pacsoa.org.au/books/index.html Bookstore]''' which offers substantial discounts on retail prices of palm and cycad books and publications, most of which are unobtainable elsewhere in Australia. At the regional level (the individual societies are known as branch groups), regular meetings, field trips and outings are organized and all branch groups produce a newsletter relevant to their particular area.<br />
<br />
The objectives of '''PASCOA''' <br />
are the promotion of the propagation and <br />
cultivation of palms and cycads, education <br />
and dissemination of knowledge, scientific <br />
study, and conservation of endangered species <br />
in the wild. '''PASCOA''' is affiliated with the <br />

<=='''PALMS & CYCADS''' Magazine Goes Digital==<br />
From 2016 our flagship magazine '''PALMS & CYCADS''' is transitioning from paper to electronic delivery. 2015 subscribers will have received an email by now advising them of the reasons for this decision. The subscription fee for 2016 has been reduced to $25 for all electronic subscribers, domestic or international. Click [http://www.pacsoa.org.au/store/membership/index.html '''<<here>>'''] to subscribe or renew.<br />
'''PALMS & CYCADS''' will continue to be produced 4 times per year, packed with 32 pages of info on our favourite plants. Subscribers will receive an email when every new issue is ready to download.<br />
<br />
The change has been driven by costs; printing costs continue to rise and Australia Post has recently raised postage charges by 40%. The magazine is not sustainable in the printed form. <br />
<br />
Subscribers who renew for 2016 will receive an email with their password to the [http://www.pacsoa.org.au/Members '''<<Members Only>>'''] area. Here you can download the current issue both as low-res (2mb) for casual reading or a high resolution (20mb) version which can be printed if desired. Back Issues for 2015 are already there and eventually '''ALL''' back issues going back to 1987 will be available to members at no extra cost. Email Mark Wuschke at '''geonoma@bigpond.net.au''' with any questions.<br />
--><br />
<!--== Bookstore Update ==<br />
There is the new edition of '''''The Cycads''''' available (the definitive cycad book), by ''Loren M. Whitelock'', and ''Duke Benadom''. It is now in two volumes with significantly more pictures, integrated with the text rather than all bundled together in one section as in the first edition. There are only a limited number of copies available. Click '''[[The_Cycads|<<here>>]]''' for more details.<br />

===Habitat:===<br />
Decomposed limestone in coastal rainforest in a small area<br />
of Lifou Island, New Caledonia.<br />
<br />
===Description:===<br />
A medium/tall emergant feather palm, to about 15 metres,<br />
with a prominantly ringed trunk. It has spreading leaves (not arched),<br />
with dark green leaflets.<br />

</div></div><br />
===General:===<br />
A very rare palm, with fewer than 100 plants estimated to be left in the wild.<br />
<br />
===Culture:===<br />
Despite its rarity, this is quite an easy plant to grow,<br />
being able to take full sun from an early age,<br />
as well as being salt, wind, and limestone tolerant.<br />
It is also a reasonably fast grower.<br />

[[File:Cyphophoenix_alba10.jpg|frame|Figure 2. <i>C. alba</i> in habitat, New Caledonia.]]<br />
</div></div><br />
===Habitat:===<br />
New Caledonia, confined to the north-east sector of La Grande-Terre on the<br />
Mt. Panie massif and nearby areas, in moist forest on gneissic and schistose<br />
soils generally at 200-600m but with an isolated occurence at near sea-level<br />
in an area where other higher altitude species are also to be found.<br />
<br />
===Description:===<br />
A medium palm to 7 m with a grey/brown trunk to 12 cm in diameter with<br />
long internodes and the upper trunk whitish with a waxy covering.<br />
Leaves, about 10, are spreading. The crownshaft, about 1.2m long,<br />
shallowly split opposite the petiole, is whitish grey with dense dark red<br />
fioccose scales, scattered at the base, becoming very dense toward and into<br />
the petiole, covered with a whitish wax. The petiole, to 60cm long and the<br />
arching rachis to 2.8m long are brown lepidote below. The leaflets,<br />
about 45 per side, are held horizontal, acuminate, rigid with a prominent<br />
mid rib, green above with lepidote scales below on the mid rib and lateral<br />
ribs and brown ramenta to 8mm on the mid rib below. Leaflets measure<br />
from 5mm to 6.2cm wide and from 24cm to 1.2m long.<br />
Figure 1.<br />
<br />
===General:===<br />
A monotypic genus endemic to New Caledonia, most closely related to<br />
<i>Burretiokentia</i><br />
from which it differs by having the fruit surface<br />
minutely papillate, the pistillode longer than the stamens and having a<br />
waxy cover on the lower crownshaft, upper trunk and inflorescence bracts.<br />
<br />
===Culture:===<br />
Apparently the seeds germinate easily, althought the plant is<br />
very slow growing, taking about 25 years to reach maturity.<br />

===Description:===<br />
A medium sized clumping palm, to about 6m,<br />
with a very prominant green crownshaft.<br />
<br />
===General:===<br />
Not as spcatcular as its brother, the Lipstick Palm, <i>C. renda</i>,<br />
however, none the less, a very attractive, underutilised palm for the tropics.<br />
<br />
===Culture:===<br />
Like all <i>Cyrtostachys</i>, this one is very cold sensitive.<br />

<br />
===Habitat:===<br />
Decomposed limestone in coastal rainforest in a small area<br />
of Lifou Island, New Caledonia.<br />
<br />
===Description:===<br />
A medium/tall emergant feather palm, to about 15 metres,<br />
with a prominantly ringed trunk. It has spreading leaves (not arched),<br />
with dark green leaflets.<br />

===General:===<br />
A very rare palm, with fewer than 100 plants estimated to be left in the wild.<br />
<br />
===Culture:===<br />
Despite its rarity, this is quite an easy plant to grow,<br />
being able to take full sun from an early age,<br />
as well as being salt, wind, and limestone tolerant.<br />
It is also a reasonably fast grower.<br />

[[File:Cyphophoenix_alba10.jpg|frame|Figure 2. <i>C. alba</i>in habitat, New Caledonia.]]<br />
</div></div><br />
===Habitat:===<br />
New Caledonia, confined to the north-east sector of La Grande-Terre on the<br />
Mt. Panie massif and nearby areas, in moist forest on gneissic and schistose<br />
soils generally at 200-600m but with an isolated occurence at near sea-level<br />
in an area where other higher altitude species are also to be found.<br />
<br />
===Description:===<br />
A medium palm to 7 m with a grey/brown trunk to 12 cm in diameter with<br />
long internodes and the upper trunk whitish with a waxy covering.<br />
Leaves, about 10, are spreading. The crownshaft, about 1.2m long,<br />
shallowly split opposite the petiole, is whitish grey with dense dark red<br />
fioccose scales, scattered at the base, becoming very dense toward and into<br />
the petiole, covered with a whitish wax. The petiole, to 60cm long and the<br />
arching rachis to 2.8m long are brown lepidote below. The leaflets,<br />
about 45 per side, are held horizontal, acuminate, rigid with a prominent<br />
mid rib, green above with lepidote scales below on the mid rib and lateral<br />
ribs and brown ramenta to 8mm on the mid rib below. Leaflets measure<br />
from 5mm to 6.2cm wide and from 24cm to 1.2m long.<br />
Figure 1.<br />
<br />
===General:===<br />
A monotypic genus endemic to New Caledonia, most closely related to<br />
<i>Burretiokentia</i><br />
from which it differs by having the fruit surface<br />
minutely papillate, the pistillode longer than the stamens and having a<br />
waxy cover on the lower crownshaft, upper trunk and inflorescence bracts.<br />
<br />
===Culture:===<br />
Apparently the seeds germinate easily, althought the plant is<br />
very slow growing, taking about 25 years to reach maturity.<br />

Bactris gasipaes<br />
by D.H. MAGGS<br />
(Peach Palm)<br />
Botany<br />
Peach palm is in the same subfamily as coconut and oil palm. Bactris gasipaes is the<br />
only species in the genus.<br />
The species is a feather palm, forming a clump of stems by suckering from the base.<br />
It grows up to 20 m high and 15 cm in diameter. Stems are usually heavilly armed with<br />
rings of very sharp, black, 5 cm spines; the outer layer is very hard. Leaves are pinnate.<br />
2.5 m long: leaflets are dark green, smooth, 50 cm long; leaves are deciduous leaving<br />
the trunk clean.<br />
Flowers are in spikes produced in axils of the lower leaves: monoecious, the females<br />
are interspersed among the more numerous males, inflorescences develop into<br />
pendant bunches (up to 12 kg) of fruits (up to 300). Fruits are with kernel, shell<br />
(endocarp), pulp (mesocarp), skin (pericarp), 2 to 6 cm long: mesocarp orange, rich in<br />
vitamin A, nicotinic acid, very starchy.<br />
The Peach palm is widely distributed throughout tropical America from Colombia to<br />
Costa Rica. It is not known as a wild species in Costa Rica where it is most cultivated.<br />
Some of the uses of peach palm are:<br />
Fruits eaten after boiling 3 hours in salt water.<br />
Staple diet of local population for several months.<br />
Canned: halves used with dips at parties: terminal bud of over-tall stems eaten as<br />
palm cabbage. (This does not destroy the clump as would be the case with<br />
single-stemmed palms.}<br />
Palm wine.<br />
Outer wood used for carving or where very hard material is required.<br />
Climatic requirements<br />
The Peach palm requires a strictly tropical climate with a temperature range of 16 to 25C,<br />
rainfall up to 2500 mm annually, and an altitude between sea level and 1200 m.<br />
Soil requirements<br />
Peach palms grow on heavy soils.<br />
Genetic diversity<br />
The species is known to have been in cultivation for more than 500 years and must<br />
have been subjected to considerable selection. Numerous varieties are reported but not<br />
described. There are variations in pericarp colour, fruit size, flesh thickness and<br />
texture. Seedlessness and spinelessness are in part heritable. Peach palms could<br />
possibly be hybridized with Bactris spp.<br />
Production season and time of cropping<br />
In Costa Rica (10N), the palm flowers at the end of the dry season (March). It ripens<br />
from September on, throughout the wet season. Fruit will hang until March, but it is<br />
difficult on the older tall stems to harvest individual ripe fruits.<br />
Yield potential<br />
For a well-grown clump the yield potential is:<br />
maximum individual bunch weight 12 kg<br />
fruit 180% bunch weight 9.6 kg<br />
bunches per stem per year 3 {up to 13 reported)<br />
stems per clump 4<br />
total annual production 115 kg<br />
equivalent orchard yield 23 tonnes per hectare<br />
Market acceptability<br />
Its present use in Central America is as a staple food equivalent to a yam or potato. It<br />
is sold in the streets as a fast food but there must be reservations as to its acceptance in<br />
Australia.<br />
Export potential<br />
Export potential of the fruit would be as a canned speciality.<br />
Cultural details<br />
Propagation is by suckers from a mature palm after it has produced four stems.<br />
Suckers should have produced roots and be 7 to 8 cm in diameter at the base and 1 to<br />
1.5 m high. The foliage should be cut back and the plant shaded until established.<br />
Seedlings fruit at 8 years old. Removal of spines causes excessive bleeding and is said<br />
to weaken the palms.<br />
Harvesting methods<br />
Harvesting is done manually or by gravity. Shaking is also possible.<br />
Marketing characteristics<br />
The flesh fruit has several weeks shelf life and this could probably be increased by<br />
appropriate technology. The processed fruit is sold as ready to eat.<br />

Bactris gasipaes<br />
by D.H. MAGGS<br />
(Peach Palm)<br />
Botany<br />
Peach palm is in the same subfamily as coconut and oil palm. Bactris gasipaes is the<br />
only species in the genus.<br />
The species is a feather palm, forming a clump of stems by suckering from the base.<br />
It grows up to 20 m high and 15 cm in diameter. Stems are usually heavilly armed with<br />
rings of very sharp, black, 5 cm spines; the outer layer is very hard. Leaves are pinnate.<br />
2.5 m long: leaflets are dark green, smooth, 50 cm long; leaves are deciduous leaving<br />
the trunk clean.<br />
Flowers are in spikes produced in axils of the lower leaves: monoecious, the females<br />
are interspersed among the more numerous males, inflorescences develop into<br />
pendant bunches (up to 12 kg) of fruits (up to 300). Fruits are with kernel, shell<br />
(endocarp), pulp (mesocarp), skin (pericarp), 2 to 6 cm long: mesocarp orange, rich in<br />
vitamin A, nicotinic acid, very starchy.<br />
The Peach palm is widely distributed throughout tropical America from Colombia to<br />
Costa Rica. It is not known as a wild species in Costa Rica where it is most cultivated.<br />
Some of the uses of peach palm are:<br />
Fruits eaten after boiling 3 hours in salt water.<br />
Staple diet of local population for several months.<br />
Canned: halves used with dips at parties: terminal bud of over-tall stems eaten as<br />
palm cabbage. (This does not destroy the clump as would be the case with<br />
single-stemmed palms.}<br />
Palm wine.<br />
Outer wood used for carving or where very hard material is required.<br />
Climatic requirements<br />
The Peach palm requires a strictly tropical climate with a temperature range of 16 to 25C,<br />
rainfall up to 2500 mm annually, and an altitude between sea level and 1200 m.<br />
Soil requirements<br />
Peach palms grow on heavy soils.<br />
Genetic diversity<br />
The species is known to have been in cultivation for more than 500 years and must<br />
have been subjected to considerable selection. Numerous varieties are reported but not<br />
described. There are variations in pericarp colour, fruit size, flesh thickness and<br />
texture. Seedlessness and spinelessness are in part heritable. Peach palms could<br />
possibly be hybridized with Bactris spp.<br />
Production season and time of cropping<br />
In Costa Rica (10N), the palm flowers at the end of the dry season (March). It ripens<br />
from September on, throughout the wet season. Fruit will hang until March, but it is<br />
difficult on the older tall stems to harvest individual ripe fruits.<br />
Yield potential<br />
For a well-grown clump the yield potential is:<br />
maximum individual bunch weight 12 kg<br />
fruit 180% bunch weight 9.6 kg<br />
bunches per stem per year 3 {up to 13 reported)<br />
stems per clump 4<br />
total annual production 115 kg<br />
equivalent orchard yield 23 tonnes per hectare<br />
Market acceptability<br />
Its present use in Central America is as a staple food equivalent to a yam or potato. It<br />
is sold in the streets as a fast food but there must be reservations as to its acceptance in<br />
Australia.<br />
Export potential<br />
Export potential of the fruit would be as a canned speciality.<br />
Cultural details<br />
Propagation is by suckers from a mature palm after it has produced four stems.<br />
Suckers should have produced roots and be 7 to 8 cm in diameter at the base and 1 to<br />
1.5 m high. The foliage should be cut back and the plant shaded until established.<br />
Seedlings fruit at 8 years old. Removal of spines causes excessive bleeding and is said<br />
to weaken the palms.<br />
Harvesting methods<br />
Harvesting is done manually or by gravity. Shaking is also possible.<br />
Marketing characteristics<br />
The flesh fruit has several weeks shelf life and this could probably be increased by<br />
appropriate technology. The processed fruit is sold as ready to eat.<br />
Storage characteristics<br />
Fruit last several months on the plant. It can be dried after processing and stored for<br />
up to 6 months.<br />
