A truly spectacular palm, native to the lush rainforests of northeastern Queensland. It boasts a spreading crown of huge, circular leaves, to 2 m (7 ft) across, with wide, wedge-shaped segments. One of the largest members of the genus Licuala, its slender trunk can reach to 15 m (50 ft) tall. In the sheltered tropical or subtropical garden, it will develop at a steady pace, and young plants are well suited for indoor decoration. |
