Common Name: none
Basselinia pancheri is a very colorful New Caledonian species that has been successfully grown in California on multiple occasions. However, no adults exist (yet) as it is a very fastidious and slow palm. But it is a strikingly colorful palm, particularly in flower. It does need a very warm, relatively windless, frost free climate and somewhat humid/moist climate to do well.
