WHAT DOES PALMIET MEAN IN ENGLISH?

palmiet

Prionium serratum

Prionium serratum Drège aka Palmiet is a robust, evergreen, semi-aquatic, rhizomatous, endemic South African plant growing to some 2 m in height. Its stem is up to 100 mm in diameter and covered with the black, fibrous bases of old spirally-arranged leaves, four-ranked or tristichous, as in the closely related family of Juncaceae, a family in which it was previously placed - it also has close affinities with the Bergpalmiet in Cyperaceae. The strap-like lanceolate leaves are rigid, with a high silica content, narrow, leathery, grey-green, and with toothed margins. The small, brown flowers are on a branched inflorescence about 1m in length. Plants are hermaphroditic and pollination is anemophilous. The fruit is a dry dehiscent triangular capsule, with 3 seed chambers and arillate seeds which are hispid and winged. The black fibrous leaf bases are often found on beaches near rivers with colonies of palmiet. This is one of only four species in the family Thurniaceae and the only member of the family native to southern Africa.
