''Chrysalidocarpus lucubensis''
''Chrysalidocarpus oleraceus''
''Dypsis lucubensis''

===Distribution & Habitat:===
Dry forest in central west and north west of Madagascar.

===Description:===
A very handsome, medium sized, clumping (usually just 2-4 trunks)
or solitary palm (which was known as ''D. lucubensis''),
to about 15m, with a thick, closely ringed trunk.
It has a tristichous leaf arrangement,
long thin leaflets, and slightly plumose leaves.

===General:===
There are a couple of well known horticultural varieties of this species.
The solitary form was previously known as ''Dypsis lucubensis'' (Figure 2)
although it could occasionally have 2 trunks.
And there is the variety 'Diego' (Figure 3)
(which refers to the area it was collected from)
which is typically smaller than the standard form.
It has a whitish colouring on the main stems and up into the crownshaft,
and it holds it's leaflets erect
where all the other forms always have the ends of the leaflet drooping.

===Culture:===
Sunny, well drained position.
A fast growing palm which does well in cultivation.
