Habitat and Distribution
Hyophorbe indica is endemic to La Reunion Island in the Mascarene Islands east of Madagascar.
Description
A solitary, medium-size crownshafted palm with the southern variety having distinctive rusty-red color to the crownshaft; there is also a more common green form from the eastern side of the island. Unlike H. lagenicaulis or verschaffeltii, it does not exhibit any bulging of the trunk. Editing by edric.
Culture
As with many palms, seedlings prefer shade, but as the palm matures it can take more sun, even full sun in coastal conditions.
