Example Sentences
- "The climate is very salubrious; that of the village, from its situation, very changeable, the N. E. wind creating at times oppressive heat, whilst the condensation of moisture by the palmiet growing in the valley, which extends through the village, renders it desirable that it should be cleared. The palmiet would then make way for luxuriant crops, the soil being purely alluvial."
- "At some distance by the river was a great brute, bigger than a Newfoundland dog, stalking along with the hideous baboon walk, and tail vehemently cocked up; a troop followed at a distance, hiding and dodging among the palmiets."
- "The reserve lies near the northern limit of the distribution of Prionium serratum – a palmiet that resembles a dwarf palm."
