Searle Brothers Nursery FL. "A palm that has continued to be a bit of a mystery. We still don't know more about it, beyond its origin story. Its upright growth, extended petioles and large leaves sets it apart from known species, except for a few similarities with Licuala peltata var. sumawongii. This palm, along with other specimens of the same batch, have flowered and set seed. The inflorescences, flowers and seed are identical to those of L. peltata var. sumawongii. The leaves are quite large and match the size of the aforementioned variety. If you were to glue the segments together it would look very similar to those solid Sumawongii leaves."
