Excerpt from The North American Sylva, or a Description of the Forest Trees of the United States, Canada, and Nova Scotia, Vol. 3 of 3: Considered Particularly With Respect to Their Use in the Arts and Their Introduction Into Commerce A trunk from forty to fifty feet in height, of a uniform dia meter, and crowned with a regular and tufted summit, gives to the Cabbage-tree a beautiful and majestic appearance. Its leaves are of a brilliant green, palmated, and borne by petioles from eighteen to twenty-four inches long, nearly triangular, and united at the edges; they vary in length and breadth from one foot to five feet, and are so arranged that the smallest occupy the centre of the summit, and the largest the circumference. Before their development they are folded like a fan, and, as they open, the outside sticks break off and fall, leaving the base surrounded with filaments woven into a coarse, flimsy, and russet web.
