   described as "flourishing" ps. 92:12, tall cant. 7:7,
   "upright" jer. 10:5. its branches are a symbol of victory
   rev. 7:9. "rising with slender stem 40 or 50, at times even
   80, feet aloft, its only branches, the feathery, snow-like,
   pale-green fronds from 6 to 12 feet long, bending from its top,
   the palm attracts the eye wherever it is seen." the whole land
   of palestine was called by the greeks and romans phoenicia,
   i.e., "the land of palms." tadmor in the desert was called by
