===Common Names:===
Blushing Palm,<br/>
Red Leaf Palm,<br/>
Red Feather Palm,<br/>
Flame Thrower Palm<br/>

===Distribution & Habitat:===
New Caledonian rainforest.

===Description:===
Large feather palm to about 20m, with a spectacular, bright red new leaf,
which stays red for up to 10 days. The leaflets are also very wide, thick,
and shiny so even without a new leaf it is very distinctive
There are several well known varieties/cultivars of this palm.

1) var ''hookeri'':
This variety has a distinctly reddish tinge to the leaves
as well as a very yellow crown shaft. Prefers more shade than the
normal ''C. macrocarpa'' i.e. it won't take full sun.

2) Watermelon form: This form has an attractive yellow streaking
on the crown shaft (see below).
 
===General:===
The most popular of the New Caledonian palms in cultivation.

===Culture:===
Full sun/light shade, moist, well drained (tho isn't averse to wet feet).
Easily the fastest of the New Caledonian palms.
