  From  Webster's  Revised  Unabridged  Dictionary  (1913)  [web1913]: 
 
  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.
