The real ambositrate is very different, with much more colorful leaf bases and more strongly recurved leaves. | This palm, though readily available from palm dealers as seed and young plants, is an enigma wrapped in a mystery.

Habitat and Distribution
Chrysalidocarpus plumosus, also known as D. "fine leaf", "fakey ambositrae" is a single trunked Dypsis
Description
In California, cultivated specimens have trunks about 4 - 6 inches across, with gently recurved leaves about four feet long. The pinnae are arranged in a "V" shape, they often flop and twist giving a pseudo-plumose look to the fronds, and are a bright green with a leathery texture. Editing by edric.
Culture
Cultivated specimens in places like Florida and Hawaii appear to be much faster-growing, with more robust trunks to about 8 - 10 inches across, with longer, less recurved leaves to about six feet long.
They are quite hardy to cold, surviving temperatures of 27 F with only minor damage. They appear to take any soil, including clay. They are very deep-rooted -- babies in pots root straight down, out the drain holes, and into the soil if they can. They will take sun or partial shade, though they don't appreciate heavy competition from "rootier" plants, including Queen Palms.
Comments and Curiosities
This palm, though readily available from palm dealers as seed and young plants, is an enigma wrapped in a mystery. The only thing that's truly clear is that it's not the Dypsis ambositrae listed in Palms of Madagascar by Dransfield and Beentje. The real ambositrate is very different, with much more colorful leaf bases and more strongly recurved leaves.
Young plants are very wispy-looking, which belies their toughness. They are easily recognized as juveniles by their reddish leaves, and purple stems, which turn green and glaucous white respectively as the plant matures.
They are best appreciated in a group, instead of as single specimens, since their slender shape makes them blend into the background. In a mass, they look like a troupe of ballerinas, poised to dance.
