A beautiful endemic undersotrey palm of wet mountain forests, one of the common names for this palm is the Mountain Mist Palm, inciting visions of the elegant silhouette against the dense evening mountain fog of upland rain forests.
The red fruits of this palm are highly striking and are regularly arranged around bold hanging spikes that emerge from the crownshaft.
This palm is highly deserving of cultivation.
About David Tng
I am
David Tng, a hedonistic botanizer who pursues plants with a fervour. I chase the opportunity to delve into various aspects of the study of plants. I have spent untold hours staring at mosses and allied plants, taking picture of pollen, culturing orchids in clean cabinets, counting tree rings, monitoring plant flowering times, etc. I am currently engrossed in the study of plant ecology (a grand excuse to see 'anything I can). Sometimes I think of myself as a shadow taxonomist, a sentimental ecologist, and a spiritual environmentalist - but at the very root of it all, a "plant whisperer"!
