''M. armata'']] </div> <div class="small-0 large-7 columns"> ===Common Names:=== Ghost Palm,<br/> Moretillo Palm<br/> ===Distribution & Habitat:=== Quite widely distributed in South America, from the lowlands of the Amazon River, up to the cool Guyana Highlands at 1400m. ===Description:=== A very striking palm, featuring multiple spiny trunks to about 15m, with large, deeply segmented palmate leaves which can have up to 120 segments, and a silvery undersurface. ===Culture:=== The main requirement is water, and lots of it. It also likes full sun, and warmth in winter. Once they get established, however, they do appear to be very vigorous growers. </div> </div> <div class="row"> <div class="small-0 large-6 columns"> [[File:Mauritiella_armata.jpg|frame|Figure 1.
