Description
This most attractive palm with bright, almost fluorescent, ivory white new spear and petiole is almost impossible to misidentify as a juvenile.

Leaf lamina 378 cm; unequal base of lamina - 85 leaflets on one side of rachis, 6 extra leaflets on other; middle leaflet 108 cm long x 8.5 cm wide; regularly arranged with conspicuous ramenta on under-surface. Petiole width 10 cm at base./Kew. Editing by edric.
