===Distribution & Habitat:===
A recently discovered palm, which grows on the banks of rivers in New Guinea.

===Description:===
This is a small, attractive, clustering palm to about 3m tall,
with thin, very flexible stems that carry an open crown of
finely pinnate, feathery leaves.

===General:===
Rheophytes (which means plant growing in/near running streams),
typically have finely pinnate leaves, and
very flexible stems, so that when the river floods, they present
very little resistance to the flow, they just bend with it,
rather than breaking. (A common palm of this type is
''[[Chamaedorea cataractarum]]'').

===Culture:===
Likes it shady, and moist; preferably tropical, but not necessarily.
Doesn't mind wet feet.
