===Synonymy:===
''Chrysalidocarpus lutescens''

===Common Names:===
Golden Cane Palm,<br/>
Butterfly Palm

===Distribution & Habitat:===
Endemic to East Madagascar and La Réunion. It is found in littoral forest or heath vegetation on white sand, also on rock; persists in secondary growth and may be locally common. Alt. 5-35 m.

===Description:===
A clustering palm, with up to about a dozen golden coloured trunks,
but no main trunk as the ''Ptychospermas'' have.
The trunks curve out from the base (see Figure 3),
while the feather leaves a quite recurved as well.

===General:===
One of the most popular palms in the tropics and sub-tropics,
due to its ease of growth, and attractiveness.
Used for both landscaping duties, as well as an indoor plant.

===Culture:===
A very adaptable palm, but grows best in full sun, in a well drained,
but moist spot. Drought tolerant, but not very frost tolerant
(for a similar palm that is, look at ''<a href="../wiki/Dypsis_baronii" title="Dypsis baronii">D. baronii</a>'').
