Editing Archontophoenix alexandrae (section)

===Description:===
This is a tall, solitary, handsome palm to about 25 metres (80 feet) tall with a
spread of about 2 - 2.5 metres (10 - 15 feet) and a graceful appearance.
The leaves, up to about 2 metres (6-7 feet) long, are stiff pinnately
compound feather-like fronds and have a tendency to rotate 90' to expose
the whole leaf in profile (Figure 2). The leaflets are all in the same plane,
bright green above with a silvery underside.
The base of the petioles forms a bright green crown shaft that the leaves rarely droop below. The trunk is
smooth and ringed with noticeable leaf scars and the base can be noticeably
swollen. It can get to about 1/3 metre (one foot) in diameter.
Flowers are formed below the crown shaft with the creamy flower stalks holding
amythest purple flowers. The round fruit, about 12 mm (1/2 inch) in diameter,
turn bright red at maturity (Figure 3).
Palm to 30 m tall, trunk to 30 cm in diameter
and frequently with the base expanded to 50-60 cm in diameter
and often 'stepped' to varying degrees. The leaves are 3-4 m
long and have the pinnae orientated in a vertical plane
toward the leaf apex. Crown shaft is light to mid green, often
with a waxy appearance. Pinnae have silver/grey scales below
and lack ramenta on the midrib below. The inflorescence
usually holds the branches and rachilla erect and rigid,
though they may become pendulous as the fruit matures.
Flowers are white/cream. Staminate flowers have 9-16 stamens
and the filaments are not deflexed. Fruit is pink/bright red
at maturity, conic-ovoid, 8-14 mm long, 6-11 mm wide. Fibres
in the mesocarp are thick, flat, and usually remain tight in
the dried state.
