{{PalmSpeciesHeader}} __NOTOC__ <div class="row"> <div class="small-0 large-3 columns"> [[File:Archontophoenix_myolensis.jpg|frame|Figure 1. <i>A. myolensis</i> in habitat, Myola Creek, north Queensland.]] </div> <div class="small-0 large-9 columns"> ===Common Name: === The Myola <i>Archontophoenix </i><br/> ===Description: === Palm to 20m tall, trunk to 30cm diameter, usually expanded at the base. The leaves are about 4m long with a moderate lateral twist. Crown shaft is a blue/green. The pinnae become lax with age (somewhat resembling <i> A. cunninghamiana</i> in gross appearance), with silver/grey scales below, but lacking ramenta. The inflorescence usually holds the branches and rachiilae erect and rigid, though they may become pendulous in fruit. Flowers are white/cream. Staminate flowers have 14-24 stamens. Filaments are not deflexed. Fruit bright red at maturity, 13-21 mm long, oblong, with the stigmatic remains eccentric. Fibres in the mesocarp are forked, thin or thick, not flattened. </div> </div> ===Distribution: === With a restricted distribution, confined to the gallery forests of Warrill Creek and southern banks of the Barron River below its junction with the creek, near Myola on the Atherton Tableland, north-east Queensland [16° 50'S], at 350-400 m altitude, on volcanic soils. ===Notes: === This species resembles <i>A. cunninghamiana</i> in gross appearance of the leaves and the lax pinnae. Floristically it resembles <i>A. alexandrae</i>, though the stigmatic remains being eccentric on the fruit is unique within the genus. <br/> <div class="row"> <div class="small-0 large-6 columns"> [[File:Archontophoenix_myolensis02.jpg|frame|Figure 2. <i>A. myolensis</i>]] </div> <div class="small-0 large-6 columns"> </div> </div> <div class="row"> <div class="small-0 large-6 columns"> [[File:Archontophoenix_myolensis03.jpg|frame|Figure 3. <i>A. myolensis</i> with immature infructescence.]] </div> <div class="small-0 large-6 columns"> </div> </div> <div class="row"> <div class="small-0 large-6 columns"> [[File:Archontophoenix_myolensis04.jpg|frame|Figure 4. <i>A. myolensis</i> along Myola Creek.]] </div> <div class="small-0 large-6 columns"> </div> </div> <div class="row"> <div class="small-0 large-6 columns"> [[File:Archontophoenix_myolensis05.jpg|frame|Figure 5. <i>A. myolensis</i> juvenile.]] </div> <div class="small-0 large-6 columns"> </div> </div> <div class="row"> <div class="small-0 large-6 columns"> [[File:Archontophoenix_myolensis06.jpg|frame|Figure 6. <i>A. myolensis</i> juvenile in Myola Creek.]] </div> <div class="small-0 large-6 columns"> </div> </div> <br clear="all"/> ===Contributed by: === John Dowe (Text - from <i><b>Palms & Cycads</b></i> No. 39, Apr-Jun 1993)<br/> Luke Nancarrow (Figure 1,2,3,4,5&6)<br/> ===External Links:=== [https://powo.science.kew.org/results?q=Archontophoenix%20myolensis Kew], [https://www.palmweb.org//?q=cdm_dataportal/taxon/8df3af0b-e2ca-4e5f-868a-b0e26f5478f7 PalmWeb], [https://www.iucnredlist.org/details/full/38184/0 IUCN], [https://www.jstor.org/action/doBasicSearch?Query=Archontophoenix+myolensis JSTOR], [https://www.trebrown.com/plant_info.php?species=Archontophoenix+myolensis Trebrown], [https://keys.trin.org.au/key-server/data/0e0f0504-0103-430d-8004-060d07080d04/media/Html/taxon/Archontophoenix_myolensis.htm ATRP] </p> [https://www.google.com/search?q=%22Archontophoenix+myolensis%22&num=10&sa=Google+Search Google], [https://images.google.com/images?q=%22Archontophoenix+myolensis%22&hl=en&btnG=Google+Search GoogleImages], [https://www.flickr.com/search/?q=Archontophoenix+myolensis Flickr], [https://www.google.com/search?q=%22Archontophoenix+myolensis%22%20site:https://www.palmtalk.org/&sa=Google+Search PalmTalk] <p> [[Category:Archontophoenix|myolensis]] [[Category:Palm|Archontophoenix_myolensis]]
