===Description:===
Clustering, small palm. Stems 1-6, to 3 m
tall, 7-25 mm diameter, internodes elongate,
green; crown with 5-9 leaves. Leaves 28-70 cm long,
irregularly segmented with
united pinnae, segments broadly adnate to
the rachis, or regularly pinnate; petiole 1-23 cm long,
3-6 mm wide; pinnae 3-23 per
leaf, 11-36.5 cm long, by 0.9-7.4 cm wide,
I when backlit under 10x magni~cation, has
numerous scattered clear elongate 'cells'
0.5-1 mm long linearly parallel to midrib
and veins. Inflorescence to 80 cm long.
Staminate flowers globose to bullet-shaped
in bud, 2-5 mm long; petals 3 times the
length of sepals, apically rounded, without
longitudinal striations, cream/dull yellow
at anthesis, not widely opening; stamens 8-12;

subglobose.

This species is the most common
''Linospadix'' in the Mt. Bellenden-Ker and
Mt. Bartle Frere area.
''Linospadix microcarya'' stands apart from the other
species due to some unique features: the leaf
lamina contains elongate clear 'cells' that
are visible under 10x magnification, fruit
is globose/turbinate, and staminate flowers
are globose and do not open widely at
anthesis.

''Linospadix microcarya'' - as
''Bacularia microcarya'' - was described by
K. Domin in 1915 from a collection made
by E M. Bailey from Harvey' s Creek in the
foothills of Mt. Bartle Frere, Queensland.
