  Palmyra \Pal*my"ra\, n. (Bot.)
     A species of palm ({Borassus flabelliformis}) having a
     straight, black, upright trunk, with palmate leaves. It is
     found native along the entire northern shores of the Indian
     Ocean, from the mouth of the Tigris to New Guinea. More than
     eight hundred uses to which it is put are enumerated by


     native writers. Its wood is largely used for building
     purposes; its fruit and roots serve for food, its sap for
     making toddy, and its leaves for thatching huts.
