Abstract

For almost 100 years a single individual of the Australian cabbage palm Livistona australis reigned as the centrepiece of the Royal Gardens palm collection at Herrenhausen in Germany. It is one of the few cultivated glasshouse plants for which horticultural and botanical publications yield a continuous record of its life. Here we tell of the cabbage palm’s unexpected acquisition by Herrenhausen in 1827, aspects of its horticultural and social history spanning almost a century, and its regrettable demise in 1920.
