Comments and Curiosities
A smallish palm, from the understory of tropical rainforests in Panama and north western Colombia, to 750 m, where it inhabits wet areas along streams or in swamps. The leaves hold only a few, wide leaflets. It is rather rare, both in the wild and in cultivation, where it prefers tropical conditions. (RPS.com)
