Palms   Ravenea glauca

Synonymy: None Common Names: Mini-Majestic Palm Habitat: Dry forests and gullies of central south Madagascar. Description: Slender, medium sized, single trunked palm to about 8m. Very reminiscient of R. rivularis , hence the common name. General: Becoming very popular with the nursery trade, since it is a relatively fast growing palm, but doesn't get to the large size of its bigger brother, R. rivularis . Endangered in its native habitat. Culture: A full sun/light shade, very well drained position.
