===Synonymy:===
''Cyrtostachys lakka''

===Common Names:===
Lipstick Palm<br/>
Sealing Wax Palm<br/>

===Distribution & Habitat:===
Found in lowland coastal swamps throughout south-east Asia.

===Description:===
A medium sized clumping pinnate palm to about 6m tall.
A spectacularly beautifull plant, with almost unbelievably
vivid red crownshaft, and petioles.

===General:===
A very popular garden and landscaping plant in south-east Asia,
but unfortunately virtually ungrowable outside the tropics.

===Culture:===
This plant is renowned for being extremely cold sensitive.
Any temperature drop below about 15&#176; C. is usually fatal.
In the tropics however, its an easy plant to grow,
provided it gets lots of water, and lots of sun.
