===Distribution:=== Confined to upland rainforest on granite at Mounts Lewis [16° 35'S], Spurgeon and Finnigan [15° 48'S] in north-east Queensland at altitudes of 400-1200m altitudeNotes: The red/purple crownshaft, the pinnae having a combination of silver/grey scales beneath and ramenta on the midrib below (features which are mutually exclusive in all other species of the genus), the large fruit and the large number of stamens readily differentiate this species. The habitat, being amongst granite boulders in soil of compacted granite, and individuals within populations being widely spread, are also notable features of the species. <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" class="external free" href="http://biocache.ala.org.au/occurrences/search?taxa=Archontophoenix+pur#tab_mapView">http://biocache.ala.org.au/occurrences/search?taxa=Archontophoenix+pur#tab_mapView</a>
