''K. oliviformis'' in habitat, New Caledonia.]] </div> <div class="small-0 large-7 columns"> ===Synonymy:=== ''Kentia oliviformis'' ===Habitat:=== Emergant palm of moist forest in central La Grande-Terre, New Caledonia. ===Description:=== Tall palm to about 30m, with a smooth greenish/grey trunk. The young leaves are a very pale green, while mature leaves can have a bluish tinge. Quite similar in appearance to ''Howea forsteriana''. ===General:=== This is the tallest palm of New Caledonia. ===Culture:=== They like full sun, and lots of water, and a sub-tropical rather than tropical climate. Usually thought to be slow growing, but several plants in south-east Queensland have displayed an impressive growth rate. </div> </div> <div class="row"> <div class="small-0 large-6 columns"> [[File:Kentiopsis_oliviformis02.jpg|frame|Figure 2.
