A relatively tall, solitary-trunked *Licuala* from Papua New Guinea, where it grows in abundance in lowland rainforests.Its crown consists of numerous flat, round fan leaves—spanning about 1 meter in diameter—composed of many narrow segments.The small, striking bright red fruits grow in large clusters.It is a remarkable palm that thrives best in sheltered locations within a tropical climate, yet is unfortunately rarely found in cultivation.
