===General:===
This species is variable and this lead to early botanists over
describing these palms. On the island of Oahu today there are
only 2 species of Pritchardia," all of those now regarded as
synonymous with ''P. martii'' , which grow in the valleys and
ridges slopes and precipices of the Koolau mountains on
the eastern side"(Fig 5)" and ''P. kaalae''"which grows in
the Waianae "mountains on the west side.""

===Culture:===
Widely cultivated, ''P. martii'' requires light shade,
or coastal full sun in the tropics and grows slowly in
warm temperate regions."" It is said that in temperate climates
the palms grow,"but slowly and are not a long term survivor.
The seeds can take"30 days or even up to 3-4 months to germinate."
Growth is slow compared with species such as ''P. hillebrandii''.
