Pholidocarpus really loves the water. They grow in swamp area in South Thailand and Malaysia. Some people even grow them in water and they do fine. The Genus Name; Comes from 2 Greek words meaning 'scale' and 'fruit'. An impressive palm from swampy tropical lowland forests on the Malay Peninsula with a thick trunk to 30 m (100 ft.) tall that carries a massive crown of large fan leaves on long, well-armed leafstalks. Pholidocarpus is closely related to Livistona but easily distinguished by its large, scaly seeds. In cultivation it is rare but not difficult. The green-yellow striped leaflets, which are also heavily thorned, are particularly attractive when the leaves are fully grown.
