Koolau Range Pritchardia (Pritchardia martii)
Description
Pritchardia martii is a small sized to medium sized fan-palm that can be distinguished by its petioles with irregularly shaped, papery ligules or wings and silvery-bronze leaf undersides. After flowering, large roundish to olive-shaped blackish fruits (about the size of golf balls) are produced in generous amounts. This is among the world's most beautiful small palms; it seems the essence of what a small palm should look like.
