Habitat and Distribution
Papua New Guinea. Description
This highly rare palm is an undescribed species from Papua New Guinea known as Licuala sp. 'Romber'. It has a uniquely-shaped leaf, with six, angled, pleated segments that radiate outward, without a rounded form, almost like a large Rhapis leaf. Perhaps representing the side of Licuala that shares a relationship border with Rhapis. (Ryan D. Gallivan) Editing by edric.
