===Description:=== These are small palms, 4-5 metres high, with a slim ringed trunk around 150 mm in diameter. (Figure 1). The crown is dense and untidy looking due to the deeply divided leaves with drooping tips. The leaves are smooth on the top surface, but slightly waxy and very lightly covered with tiny scales on the lower side. The large, many branched inflorescence is shorter than the petiole (Figure 3). The fruits are ovoid, approximately 20 x 18 mm and the seed is 13-15 mm in diameter (Figure 5). A species said by Beccari in 1921 to "approach P. hillebrandii more than any other" however, the crown of ''P. remota'' is more "untidy" than ''P. hillebrandii'' and the leaves are much more deeply divided.
