Synonyms:[edit]
Kentiopsis divaricata
Habitat:[edit]
Understory palm of wet forest slopes, from 60 to 1000m (200'-3000'), southern La Grande-Terre, New Caledonia..
Description:[edit]
A slender feather palm to 7m, with a yellow crownshaft, and 4-6 leaves.
General:[edit]
The new leaf has intense colouration which is not commonly found in palms, either in shade or sun demanding species. The ecological value of such a phenomena is little studied but it is suggested that it is a mechanism to repel leaf-chewing insects.
Cultivation:[edit]
Sheltered, shady, moist position, in well drained soil.
Reference:[edit]
