Editing Archontophoenix cunninghamiana (section)

===Description:===
This is a very similar palm to <i><a href="../wiki/Archontophoenix_alexandrae" title="Archontophoenix alexandrae">Archontophoenix alexandrae</a></i>
in both appearance and size (it gets to about 25 metres
(80 feet) tall with a spread of about 2 - 2.5 metres (10 - 15 feet)).
The leaves, which have paler stalks, are bright green above and below, although there can also be brown scales underneath. They are much heavier looking than <i>A. alexandrae</i>, and consequently are more likely to be damaged by heavy winds. Thus they are often better suited to more sheltered areas, while <i>A. alexandrae</i> can take more exposed positions.
The base of the petioles form a greenish-yellow to brown crown-shaft that the leaves rarely droop below. The trunk is smooth and ringed with noticeable leaf scars, although thinner and with more widely spaced rings than <i>A. alexandrae</i>. 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 mauve flowers. The round green fruit, about 12 mm (1/2 inch) in diameter, turn bright red at maturity. There is often a noticeable bulge in the crown-shaft before the flowers emerge which gives the tree a "pregnant" look.
Palm to 30 m tall, trunk to 30 cm in diameter, usually not
greatly expanded at the base. The leaves are 4-4.5 m long
and have the pinnae orientated in a vertical plane toward the
leaf apex; the crown-shaft is dark green, red to purple; the
pinnae tend to become lax with age due to the lack of strong
secondary ribs. Pinnae are green beneath with ramenta to
about 5 cm long on the midrib below. Inflorescence branches
are white/cream; the rachillae pendulous. Flowers are
lilac/purple. Staminate flowers have 9-18 stamens and the
filaments are deflexed. Fruit is bright red at maturity,
10-15 cm long. Fibres in the mesocarp are thick, flat and
usually loosen in the dried state.
