Habitat and Distribution
Mauritius Island. Mascarene Archipelago. Tropical montane rainforest at 400-550 m altitude. [[]]
Description
Solitary palm, with prominant rings on the trunk, and stiff, arching leaves. The inflorescence spathe is very distinctive, being very long, and angled acutely upwards.
Culture
As with many palms, seedlings prefer shade, but as the palm matures it can take more sun, even full sun in coastal conditions. Cold Hardiness Zone: 10a
Comments and Curiosities
Becoming very rare due to land clearing, and despite being much sought after by collectors, it is very rarely seen for sale or in collections. (Phillip Arrowsmith)
