Chelyocarpus ulei is a single-stemmed palm, with fan-shaped leaves. The stem is 1 to 8 metres (3 ft 3.4 in to 26 ft 3.0 in) tall, and 4 to 7 centimetres (1.6 to 2.8 in) in diameter. Trunk type: Solitary. With palmate leaves up to 1.6 metres (5 feet) across, at the end of a 1-1.5 metre (3-4.5 feet) petiole. The leaves are deeply split, and silvery white underneath. Leaf detail: Palmately compound, with relatively even segmented divisions, erect leaves.

Understorey palm. Stem solitary, erect, to 5 m tall, 6-8 cm in diameter. Leaves with petiole 1-1.5 m long; blade palmate 1.2-1.6 m in diameter, silverish white below, deeply split into 8-10 segments, that in their turn are partially split for up to half their length into one-ribbed teeth. Inflorescences 60-100 cm long, the basal part covered with bracts with a greyish white waxy tomentum. Flowers 3-5 mm long, first cream coloured, then purplish. Fruits 2-3 cm in diameter, light brown, with corky-warty surface. (Borchsenius, F. 1998)

"Rare Brazilian understory fan palm - at least rare in cultivation. Not sure of cold sensitivity, but suspect not that hardy. Has very ornamental leaves that are completely circular, but completely divided down to the petioles in sections. The leaflets between each divistion are serated at the tips. No petiolar spines. Palms looks a lot like Licuala species." (Geoff Stein)
