Comments and Curiosities

"very attractive but very rare in cultivation, this acaulescent (stemless or trunkless), clustering Bornean palm has beautiful deep, green shiny leaves with bright white undersides. The leaves erupt out of the ground and leaflets get progressively larger towards the tip of the leaf." (Geoff Stein)
