Habitat and Distribution
From Fiji and lives in the low elevation rainforests
Description
It is a monoecious, pinnate palm that is relatively sparsely leaved and grows to a height of only about 10'-12'/3-3.6m. New leaf color is red-orange.
Culture
This is a decidedly tropical palm, marginal in subtropical climates like South Florida. Does great in Hawaii, though, where it is rapidly becoming a common "collector's" plant among palm enthusiasts. Most were disappointed when it lost its monotypic status, so it may be a little less sought after now. Needs lots of water and constant warmth.
