Editing Ptychosperma ambiguum

{{PalmSpeciesHeader}}
__NOTOC__
===Habitat:===
Limestone hills in the rainforests of West Irian, New Guinea.

===Description:===
A solitary palm to 5m tall, although the trunk rarely gets
thicker than 25 mm. It has leaves to 1.25m long, with the narrow leaflets
clustered along the stem. It has a very attractive infructescence,
featuring black fruit with a bright red rachillae and cupules.

===General:===
Not very common, although it does sound as though it would be quite
an attractive, small, understory palm.

===Culture:===
Coming from a limestone area, it would probably like a soil with a high pH,
and the usual moist but well drained potting mix/soil. Being so short,
it is doubtfull that it's an emergant palm, so would probably
appreciate a shady, warm, sheltered position.
