===Description:=== A tall, massively trunked solitary palm to about 20m, with a very solid, wide, white straight sided trunk, extremely wide at the base, wide deep green shiny leaflets, and pinnate leaves. Often said to be the most attractive of the ''Roystoneas'', not as commonly grown as ''[[Roystonea regia]]'' due to being somewhat less cold hardy. Can be differentiated from ''R. regia'' because of its wider, deeper green, shinier leaflets held in two planes neatly on either side of the rachis, each plane consists of a double row of leaflets giving a full but never plumose impression ''R. regia'' has thin longer mat leaflets, held in an irregular plumose arrangement and is a smaller palm in every way. </div> </div> <div class="row"> <div class="small-0 large-12 columns">
