===Description:=== Similar to ''P. pacifica'' but smaller, ''P. thurstonii'' is an attractive, solitary fan palm 4-5m tall, with a trunk up to 15cm in diameter. Leaves are up to 1.8m long and almost as wide, the leaf blade is waxy glaucous on both upper and lower surfaces (Figure 3), with small elliptical scales underneath. Spadices are longer than the crown and arch out and down when a mass of heavy fruit develops in a head sized clump at the end. The spherical fruit is 7 mm in diameter, turning red then black at maturity (Figure 5). The seed is 4mm in diameter. </div> </div>
