===Common Names: ===
Florence Falls Palm<br/>
Latrum Palm

===Distribution & Habitat: ===
Monsoonal rainforest, Northern Territory, Australia

===Description: ===
Florence Falls palm is being adopted as a common name for
our shade loving ''Hydriastele''. An Arecoid species with short
flat leaves and uneven pinnae, two or three slender stems,
7-20m tall, dominating each small clump.

===Cultivation: ===
This palm has the frustrating habit of fruiting heaviest
when access roads are impassable in the wet season. Very
fresh seed is needed, pre-soaked for a week before defleshing
and planting in shallow trays, germinating is six to twelve
months. Small bifid seedlings are slow growing and prone to
attacks of fungus. They do best in a humid
atmosphere, heavy shade, and lightly fertilized. After
approximately three years a 1m main stem with 2 or 3 basal
suckers is ready to be planted in a sheltered position.
''Hydriastele'' can be moved if necessary, quite large
specimens transplanting well. Cultivated and irrigated
specimens fruit throughout the year.

===General: ===
Not as well known outside enthusiasts' gardens as the
''[[Carpentaria acuminata]]'', this species is gradually gaining
acceptance as a
moderately sized attractive palm for suburban gardens at the
stage of "filling-in" beneath established plants. Only
suitable indoors if protected from fans and breezes.
