Comments and Curiosities

This most unusual and truly stunning, small, clustering palm from rainforests in Papua New Guinea holds many long, arching, bifid leaves that let is go unrecognized as a Licuala at first glance. A collectors gem, easily on a par with rare species such as L. mattanensis and L. cordata. (RPS.com)
