===Synonymy:===
''Dypsis gracilis'',
''Dypsis sambiranensis'',
plus many others.

===Distribution & Habitat:===
Widely spread in lowland and montaine rainforest
along the east and north-west coast of Madagascar.

===Description:===
A very attractive palm, up to 12 metres tall,
but with quite a thin stem. The leaves, up to about 2m long are
dark maroon when young, then turn a dark, shiny green as they mature.
They can be widely spread over the stem, which gives the head of the
palm a very distinctive character.

===General:===
A very popular collectors palm, although it should be far more widely grown,
given its attractiveness, and ease of culture. Very good for group planting.

===Culture:===
Prefers shade as a youngster, altho it can take full sun as its gets older.
Likes the standard moist, but well drained potting mix.
