===Conservation Status:===
There is an extensive population and distribution in some very
inaccessible terrain and the species is not on the
US Federal Endangered species list.

===Distribution & Habitat:===
Growing between 500 and 700 metres altitude along
the "Pole Line Trail" in one of the wettest regions on
the planet, on the island of Kauai.

===Description:===
A species recognized to be within the ''P. remota'' group.
A large palm, 20 metres or more tall, large crown with more than 40 leaves.
(Figure 1,2).
Leaves glaucous covered with wax, lower surface covered with
grey scales (Figure 3).
The inflorescences are shorter than the petioles and the fruit are ovoid,
19mm x 13 mm (Figure 4).

===General:===
This grows in very wet conditions in subtropical rainforest and
is named after Mt. Wai"ale"ale. Interestingly although Pritchardia
are notorious for the tendency to hybridise, this species grows together
with ''P. hardyi'' along the pole line trail, and the 2 species have
remained distinct

===Culture:===
Not known to be in cultivation.
