 ==Description==
 This palm has been unavoidably confused with a more widely available cultivated palm, invalidly named when it was originally introduced, as ''Dypsis bejofa,'' This imposter is now being referred to more correctly as Dypsis sp. 'Bejofa'. But because of this similarity, the confusion continues. The differences are apparent, but the confusion will persist until the Dypsis sp. "Bejofa" is described and/or identified.

 When this tree is sterile it resembles D. pilulifera, which is less massive and has less strikingly plumose leaves. It is probably close to D. hovomantsina and D. canaliculata. The seed is most unusual and distinctive and until recently we thought of a form unique within the genus. However, in 1994 JD saw similar, but smaller, seed with entirely different seedlings in cultivation in Australia, seed source unknown, but 'from Madagascar'. (J. Dransfield and H. Beentje. 1995)/Palmweb.

 ==Culture==
-Still relatively uncommon in cultivation, and as yet not 100% positively identified as such. However, the palms tentatively identified as the "real Bejofa" have been extremely slow growing, even in the optimum growing conditions of Hawaii.

 ==Comments and Curiosities==
 One of the most impressive palms of Madagascar. The massive trunk and enormous leaves, sometimes arranged in three rows in an arching crown, give this tree a majestic appearance. This would be a spectacular ornamental tree for grand landscaping in the tropics. Seeds have been widely distributed. The local name has supplied us with the specific epithet. (J. Dransfield and H. Beentje. 1995)/Palmweb.
