Inaja Palm
a tree growing in South America, common to the countries near the Amazon; sometimes called the jagua palm. The great woody spathes are sometimes used as cooking utensils and will not burn if filled with water.
The fruit grows in clusters and has a tough skin, a soft pulp, and a hard, stony seed. The Indians eat it and monkeys and birds are fond of it.
INCA (in'kä), a Peruvian or rather Quichua title, signifying chief, applied to the imperial head of the Peruvian empire, and also to the governing caste or race from which he sprung. The empire of the Incas, founded according INCEST to tradition, in the 11th century, by the celebrated Manco Capac, extended over the table-land of the Andes, from Pasto to the neighborhood of Chile, as well as the low lands on the coast. It was destroyed by the Spaniards under Pizarro and Almagro. The blood royal of the Incas is preserved, or believed to be so, among Indians of the present day.
