Ptychosperma salomonense (Ptychosperma salomonense)
Description
Native to tropical rainforest on the Solomon Islands, this variable palm produces a slender trunk that can reach 12 m (39 ft.) tall, topped by a dense crown of elegantly arching leaves to 3.5 m (11 ft.) long with numerous, broad, arching leaflets, altogether not unlike P. elegans. It will flourish in a sheltered location in the tropical garden.
