Pinanga insignis (Pinanga insignis)
Description
The tallest species in the Pinanga family, this solitary palm can grow to heights over 30 feet (10 metres) tall. The trunk is a glossy dark green with light brown leaf scares, leading up to the bright purple crownshaft. The purple crown and the green trunk give this palm a nice color contrast. The crown consists of 6-10 long evenly arranged green pinnate leaves. The seeds turn bright red once ripe, adding even more color to this palm.
