Comments and Curiosities

It is generally accepted that there are two forms of Pinanga Coronata. The 'standard' P. Coronata will hold regular pinnate leaves when mature, and is not as mottled as the other form known as Kuhlii. P. coronata takes the full sun very well where as Kuhlii will burn, sometimes very bad. In addition Kuhlii does not handle the cold as well.
