 Johannesteijsmannia altifrons

Hanbat Arboretum Tropical Garden

 

 

 

This is an exceptionally beautiful palm from Malaysia.

 

Growing to a height of about 2 metres, it has no trunk but enormous,

 

undivided leaves that rise straight from an underground stem and are used as superior

 

thatching in its native land.  At present it is not commonly seen in gardens, but is

 

attractive form and relantively compact shape make it eligible for wider use.

 

It prefers a shady location and needs protection from strong winds which will

 

damage the large leaves.  Propagation is by seed, Which must be fresh.
