Dypsis basilonga is a distinctive mid-sized solitary palm from Madagascar that several palm enthusiasts have found grows fairly well, at least in the better growing zones here in California. These plumose palms have a unique look with a bizarrely huge first leaflet on each frond drooping pendulously over the crownshaft. These 'primary leaflets' are more leathery, wider and nearly 3x as long as the rest of the plants' leaflets. It is an neat and elegant palm, perfect as a small specimen plant or in small groups in the garden. It has a highly ornamental white, swollen crownshaft and evenly ringed trunks with a small flare at the bottom.
