Ptychosperma macarthurii
[Actinophloeus macarthurii, Kentia macarthurii]

' Macarthur Palm '

[ Palmae ]
[ Australia ]
Originally from northeastern Australia and areas of New Guinea, this small, suckering palm has become widely distributed as an ornamental in tropical and warm subtropical areas. The MacArthur Palm produces a dense cluster of slender canes, each topped by a small crown of light green, pinnate leaves. It is ideally suited for the smaller garden, best under a canopy of tall trees, and will also do well as a potted plant indoors if it gets bright light.
