===Description:===
A single trunked palm which is covered in long black spines,

broad ruffled, spiny leaflets, (similar to ''Caryota'',
hence the old name),
on pale spiny stalks. The fruits are bright red.

===General:===
Despite its spininess (or perhaps because of it), this palm is very popular with
palm collectors. As mentioned the leaves form a very attractive crown,
and the spines add a considerable degree of interest.

===Culture:===
This is an easy, quick growing plant, liking the standard moist,
but well drained soil, and quite a high degree of light
(young plants like a bit of shade, but older specimens can take full sun).
Its seed germinates easily in 1 - 2 months.
