' Yanawei Palm '

[ Palmae ]
[ Fiji ]
This palm from the island of Vanua Levu, Fiji, where it grows in dense rainforest, is one of the smallest of the Veitchias. Its slender trunk reaches about 10 cm (4 in) in diameter and is topped by a small crown of elegant, recurved feather leaves with widely spaced, long and broad leaflets. The small seeds germinate readily and subsequent growth is very fast. An excellent palm for tropical and warm subtropical regions.
