===Description:=== A tall, solitary, palm to between 15 and 20 metres (50 - 65 feet) tall. It has pinnate leaves to about 3 metres (9 feet) long, with the rhachis covered in strong black spines, to 2-3 cm, (1 inch) long, and a conspicuious crownshaft. The stem base splays out like an elephant"s foot, more obvious on the older plants. It basically resembles A rubra except for some subtle differences, such as seed size, leaf style etc, and of course altitude. A rubra is typically lowland, ''A. roussellii'' is transitional lowland/highland, ''A. crinita'' is highland to 2000m altitude and is white in the crown not red or brown.
