Normanbya
''Normanbya'' is a monotypic genus of palms containing the single species ''Normanbya normanbyi'', which is known by the common name black palm It is endemic to Queensland, Australia and is threatened by habitat destruction. Description ''Normanbya normanbyi'' is visually very similar to the more well-known Foxtail palm but is slightly smaller in all respects. It is a single-stemmed palm with attractive "bushy" fronds, similar to a bottlebrush. It grows to a height of with a small crown of fronds each measuring around long with a petiole about long. The fronds have 75-95 whorled pinnae (leaflets) up to in length, each of which are divided longitudinally into 7-11 radiating segments, giving the fronds the bushy appearance. The pinnae are dark green on the upper surface and silvery underneath and the tips are abruptly truncated (like a fishtail). The inflorescence (grouping of flowers) is a panicle and is borne on the trunk just below the crownshaft. They are around long ...

Wodyetia
''Wodyetia bifurcata'', the foxtail palm, is a species of palm in the family Arecaceae, native to Queensland, Australia. It is the sole species in the genus ''Wodyetia''.

It produces large (about the size of a duck egg) orange fruit"''Palm and Cycad Societies of Australia webpage on Wodyetia bifurcata Accessed 3 May 2008 Etymology Most of the world was unaware of the existence of this 'spectacular' palm until 1978, when an Aborig ...[...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Ptychococcus
''Ptychococcus'' is a monoecious genus of flowering plant in the palm family from New Guinea and the Solomon Islands. They are closely related to ''Ptychosperma'', only differentiated by the seed shape and endocarp type.Uhl, Natalie W. and Dransfield, John (1987) ''Genera Palmarum - A classification of palms based on the work of Harold E. Moore''. Lawrence, Kansas: Allen Press. / The name is a combination of the Greek for "fold" and the Latin for "berry". Description The trunks grow to 15 m, usually no wider than 25 cm, and both are solitary, ringed, and crownshafted. The leaf is pinnately compounded, in long sheaths, usually covered in scales and hairs, as is the short petiole. The ridged rachis is flattened on the bottom and also covered in hairy tomentum. The unusual leaflets are once-folded and toothed, twisting upwards in their bottom half. Each leaflet also bears scales and a prominent midrib, with tomentose margins, and lacking visible veinlets.

Ponapea
''Ponapea'' is a genus of palms which is native to certain islands in the western Pacific. The genus consists of four species, and has often been considered to be part of the genus ''Ptychosperma''. Three of the species are endemic to the Caroline Islands, the fourth to the Bismarck Archipelago. * '' Ponapea hentyi'' (Essig) C.Lewis & Zona - New Britain * '' Ponapea hosinoi'' Kaneh. - Pohnpei * '' Ponapea ledermanniana'' Becc. - Caroline Islands * '' Ponapea palauensis'' Kaneh. - Palau Palau, officially the Republic of Palau, is an island country in the Micronesia subregion of Oceania in the western Pacific Ocean.

Manjekia
''Manjekia'' is a monotypic genus of palm for a species of palm native to Biak island, Indonesia, off the northwest coast of New Guinea. The genus was proposed in 2014. Its sole species is ''Manjekia maturbongsii'', which was first described in 2012 as ''Adonidia maturbongsii''. The specific epithet honours Rudi Maturbongs for his contributions to the study of palms in Biak. In 2014, the original authors decided that it was sufficiently distinct to be transferred from '' Adonidia'' to its own genus, ''Manjekia''. The transfer has been accepted by sources such as Plants of the World Online Plants of the World Online (POWO) is an online taxonomic database published by the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew.

Carpentaria
''Carpentaria acuminata'' (carpentaria palm), the sole species in the genus ''Carpentaria'', is a palm native to tropical coastal regions in the north of Northern Territory, Australia. It is a slender palm, growing to tall in the garden situation, with a trunk diameter. The leaves are pinnate, long. However, in its natural rainforest location such as at Fogg Dam Monsoon Forest east of Darwin, specimens often exceed in height. It is a popular ornamental plant in northern Australia, valued for its rapid growth and very elegant foliage. In recent years, particularly in the capital of the Northern Territory, Darwin, the maturation of gardens after their destruction during Cyclone Tracy in 1974, has resulted in many thousands of specimens of these local palms reaching maturity and fruiting. This has led to many carpentaria palms being removed because of the high volumes of fruits they produce. The ripening fruits attract fruit bats and Torres Strait pigeons which can create ...

Brassiophoenix
''Brassiophoenix'' is a genus of monoecious flowering plants in the palm family found in Papua New Guinea. Of the two similar species, one is more common in cultivation and was mistakenly identified as '' Brassiophoenix schumannii''. In 1999, Zona and Estig showed that the commonly cultivated species was instead the type species '' Brassiophoenix drymophoeoides''. The two species are distinguished by their separated geographical locations and minor differences in fruit form.Riffle, Robert L. and Craft, Paul (2003) ''An Encyclopedia of Cultivated Palms''. Portland: Timber Press. / The genus name is a combination of the surname Brass, honoring the first collector L.J. Brass, and '' Phoenix'', another palm genus. Description Both species grow to around in height on trunks culminating in tall, slightly bulging crownshafts and sparse leaf crowns. The stiff, unarching leaves are pinnate to in length, petioles short or absent, the pinnae being regularly spaced and diamond- ...

Adonidia
''Adonidia'' is a genus of flowering plants in the family Arecaceae, native to the Philippines and Borneo. History of the genus The genus was originally described in 1919. In 1957, it was transferred to the genus '' Veitchia''. In 2008, further study returned it to its own genus. Thus, some older photos from the 1957-2008 period use ''Veitchia'' instead of ''Adonidia''. Another similar palm, the genus ''Manjekia maturbongsii'' was first described in 2012 as ''Adonidia maturbongsii'',W.J.Baker & Heatubun, Palms (1999+) 56: 134 (2012). but in 2014 it was moved to its own genus, ''Manjekia''. Current status At present there are two recognized species. The first, and better known, is the Manila palm ('' Adonidia merrillii''), which is native to the Philippines (Palawan and Danjugan Island) and is reportedly naturalized in the West Indies. The second is '' Adonidia dransfieldii'', native to Sabah Sabah () is a States and federal territories of Malaysia, state of Malaysia ...
