Habitat and Distribution
Hyophorbe indica originates from Reunion Island in the Mascarene Islands east of Africa.
Description
A solitary, medium-size crownshafted palm with a distinctive rusty-red color to the petioles; there is also a green form. Unlike H. lagenicaulis or verschaffeltii, it does not exhibit any bulging of the trunk.
Culture
As with many palms, seedlings prefer shade, but as the palm matures it can take more sun, even full sun in coastal conditions.
