Common Name: Ivory Cane Palm
Pinanga coronata is just one of over 90 species of Pinanga that have been described, but easily one of the most cold hardy of the lot and one of the few that can be grown easily in many of the milder climates in California. This is surprising if you consider these are from the South Pacific Islands- a very tropical origin. Pinangas are among the most colorful and ornamental of the palms, and Pinanga coronata is no exception, though it is not one of the most colorful of the genus. It is a suckering, tropical looking species with variably pinnate leaves
Synonym: Pinanga kuhlii
