Abstract
Oil palm (Elaeis guineensis Jacq.) belongs to the family Aracaceae. At the adult stage, this arborescent monocotyledon shows typical features of palms with a crown consisting of 40–50 opened, palmate leaves and a cone with 40–50 leaves at various development stages at the end of an unbranched stem. Growth is ensured by a single terminal meristem which produces an average of two leaves per month.
