 ==Habitat and Distribution==
-Madagascar. NE Madagascar, only known from the Marojejy Mts. A species from high mountains in the north; the specific name means 'dwarf', and refers to the habit: in this case short and stocky rather than the 'tiny' it often means. This species holds the altitude record for Madagascar palms as it occurs at a higher elevation than any other. On gneiss and quartzite, in ericoid vegetation or montane forest, also in high altitude swamp; 1500-2100 m.

LEAVES 3-4 per crown; sheath 11-19 cm long, about 2 cm in diam., waxy and distally densely scaly, without auricles but with square shoulders; petiole absent or up to 4 cm, 7-11 x 4-8 mm in diam., densely scaly; rachis 26-47 cm, densely scaly; leaflets regular, 19-21 on each side of the rachis, the proximal 11-18 x 0.3-1.2 cm, median 13-20 x 1-2.1 cm (interval 0.8-2 cm), distal 2.5-9 x 0.2-1 cm, apices attenuate, not bifid, main vein 1-3, as well as thickened margins, few to many small scales on midrib and margins abaxially, with a few scales on the proximal midrib adaxially. INFLORESCENCE infrafoliar, branching to 1 order; peduncle 7-16 cm, 4-8 mm in diam.; prophyll dark green, 17-24 cm long, borne at 2.8-8 cm above the base of the peduncle, 3-3.5 cm wide, the distal half open; peduncular bract inserted at 4.5-12.2 cm, 10-15 x 3.6 cm, open, with scattered small scales; rachis 3-5 cm long, glabrous, with 9 rachillae (always?); rachillae 6-10 cm long, 1.5-3 mm in diam., glabrous, the triads distant, sunk in pits; rachilla bracts acute, entire. STAMINATE FLOWERS with sepals 2.3-3.9 x 1.8-3.2 mm, ovate or elliptic, proximally slightly gibbous, keeled, with membranous margins, acute or obtuse, entire; receptacle 1.8-2 mm high; petals 3-5.8 x 2.6-3.6 mm, ovate or elliptic, striate, acute; stamens 6, uni- or biseriate, filaments 2.8-5 x 0.7-1 mm, flat, anthers 1.4-1.8 x 0.8-1 mm, dorsifixed, versatile, the locules slightly diverging proximally, obtuse; pistillode c. 1.8-3 x 0.7-1 mm. PISTILLATE FLOWERS with sepals 2.6-3.2 x 1.7-3.3 mm (to 4.7 mm wide in fruit), (broadly) ovate, concave, acute; petals (in bud) imbricate with a minute valvate apex, broadly ovate, 2.2-2.8 x 1.8-2.2 mm, or (in fruit) white and reddish, 4.2-4.8 x 5-5.5 mm; staminodes (four seen) flat, up to 0.6 mm high; gynoecium c. 2.2 x 1.5 mm. FRUIT subglobose to slightly obovoid, 17-26 x 12-20 mm, pointed at the base, rounded at the apex; endocarp fibrous, but not adhering to the seed. SEED slightly obovoid, 16-17 x 13-14 mm, pointed at the base, rounded at the apex, with a faint subequatorial depression; endosperm ruminate with many intrusions, 2- 6 mm deep. (J. Dransfield & H.

 "On our trip 2 years ago, our group went up to camp #3, and Peter Balasky and myself, along with our guide started off to the summit to see this palm. We were in 1 hours walking distance probably and deciced to turn around and come back down, because we felt that there just wasn't much to look at up that far. Looking at your picture here, I now wish I could say that we went up and saw this beautiful and very rare palm. I don't know of anybody having one of these, it would take a unique situation to be able to grow it. Thanks for showing it to all of us!" (Jeff Searle, Searle Brothers Nursery, FL.)

 ==Comments and Curiosities==
 Conservation: Critically Endangered. Endemic to the summit of Marojejy where fewer than 30 individuals are found, hence it qualifies for Listing as Critically Endangered under criterion D. The site is protected and access is difficult as well as restricted. Regular monitoring of the population is required. Protected in Marojejy National Park. Further surveys are required to determine the full extent and size of the population. Ocasional monitoring of the population trends is required. (IUCN Redlist 2012)

-"The brochure says: "Palms are found at all elevations in Marojejy. Especially palm rich are the mid-altitude forests between 700 and 1200 m, which provide excellent habitat for large litter-trapping species such as the impressive Marojejya insignis, as well as steep slopes for the more graceful, taller palms such as Dypsis baronii. Smaller, understory palms found in these mid-altitude forests include D. lokohoensis, D. thiryana, and the rare D. cookei. Growing at the very high elevations are miniature palms such as the wind-dwarfed D. bonsai, and D. pumila, which thrives in bogs above 2000 m."

-It is one of the "highest" palms of Madagascar and maybe it has never been grown in cutivation. Surely not for Florida or So.California. I would try it anywhere in the Canary Islands between 600 and 1000 m elevation, but it could be tried in Hawaii at higher altitudes or maybe even in the lowlands of San Francisco or Northern Spain or maybe in the blessed areas of the UK or who knows where else. This is guessing, I wish this palm would grow by my doorstep." (Carlo Morici)
