A very rare and little known Dypsis native to the Comoro Islands which is somewhat similar to Dypsis cabadae but said to be simply 'even more beautiful'. The name refers to the leaflets which are unusually broad for a the genus Dypsis. Suckering and growing to only about 6m (20ft) high, it would be suitable even for the small, warm temperate or tropical garden and would undoubtedly also make a great interior plant. Vulnerable in the wild, it may only survive in cultivation.
