===Conservation Status:===
The palm has no known cultural uses and is currently classified as Endangered.

===Synonyms:===
''Alsmithia longipes''

===Distribution & Habitat:===
Endemic to Fiji Islands.
Their habitat is generally understory and between 100 to 600 meters elevation
in high rainfall areas of Vanua Levu and Taveuni Islands.

===Description:===
Most mature palms sighted were around 5 to 7 meters tall
with trunks of about 10 cm bearing irregular prominent nodes.
The fronds numbered 8 to 10 with long petioles and
evenly spaced glossy green leaflets. The new or emerging fronds
are a pinkish-red colour that darkens after some days to a bronze-red.
The inflorescence is interfoliar and produces a fruit of 2.5 to 3.5 cm
that is crimson-red when ripe.

===Cultivation:===
This palm is tropical in its requirements, but performs well in cultivation
when given some shade when young and regular water.
