===Common Names:===
Formosa Palm<br/>
Formosa Sugar Palm<br/>
Taiwan Sugar palm<br/>
Taiwan Arenga palm<br/>
Dwarf sugar palm

===Distribution & Habitat:===
It grows on slopes in forest on Taiwan and the Ryukyu Islands (south of Japan).

===Description:===
A small, clumping palm palm to about 3m  (10 ft) tall, and 5m (16 ft) across,
with attractive pinnate leaves that are dark green above,
and silver below. The stems are covered with delicate black fibres.
Virtually unmentioned in the literature is the intense 'canned apricot nectar' smell of the flowers.

===General:===
This species is probably the most cold tolerant of the genus and apparently grows well in San Francisco, and as far south as Nowra NSW, albeit plants have not flowered after 25 years in the ground. Seed MUST be handled with care (gloves) as the sap causes severe itching and irritation to the skin.
