Editing Hyophorbe lagenicaulis (section)

===General:===
An interesting and easy to grow palm which will
become a talking point when it gets bigger.

This species is
widely cultivated in Mauritius. As well as
individual specimens in the capital, towns
and villages, mass plantings are common
at median strips and roundabouts. The
stature of the palms in the Pamplemousses
avenues varies from upright and regular,
in the younger planting pictured, to
grotesquely distorted in the older planting on
A. d'Epinay Avenue near the gatehouse
and entrance and exposed to perhaps over
a century of cyclones, neglect and erosion.
