DYPSTERIES
Anyone who knows Dypsis knows we have a lot of mystery surrounding the IDs of many of these wonderful Palms from Madagascar. The many previous discussions, opinions, and photos of these unsolved mysteries are a hodgepodge of scattered information. In an attempt to provide a central and easily accessible "clearing house" for Dypsis IDs, Palmpedia is providing this area.
Each palm in question will have it's own page with the latest updated collective knowledge pertaining to it's ID. Each page will have a typical forum discussion page (Click the Discussion Tab) tied to this main reference page. Any shared knowledge, opinions, or new pics gained from any forum discussion will be integrated back into the main reference. In this way the latest opinions and pics about a particular palm will always be easily accessible and contained in one major article.
