{{PalmSpeciesHeader}} __NOTOC__ <div class="row"> <div class="small-0 large-5 columns"> [[File:Johannesteijsmannia_magnifica.jpg|frame|Figure 2. ''J. magnifica'' in habitat, Malaysia.]] </div> <div class="small-0 large-7 columns"> === Common Names:=== Silver Joey<br/> ===Distribution & Habitat:=== Rainforest in southern Peninsular Malaya. ===Description: === As the name suggests this is a magnificent plant, not just one of the finest palms, but also one of the most spectacular plants around. It is a trunkless palm, with enormous spear shaped, entire leaves up to 3 metres long, (the first metre of which is petiole) and up to 2 metres wide. The underside is covered in fine white hairs which give it a silvery appearance. These leaves arch over and leave any viewer with an unforgettable sight. ===General:=== These palms are only just coming into general cultivation, but because of their spectacular appearance, are becoming extremely sought after. A mature specimen in the Flecker Gardens in Cairns has caused such an impression that these plants sell out almost as soon as they become available in North Queensland. ===Cultivation:=== Warm (tropical / warm sub-tropical), sheltered, shady, and moist, but well drained. Keep out of the wind. Intensely dislikes root disturbance. Be very carefull when potting up or out. </div> </div> <div class="row"> <div class="small-0 large-6 columns"> [[File:Johannesteijsmannia_magnifica04.jpg|frame|Figure 1.
