''A. divaricata'' in habitat, New Caledonia.]] </div> <div class="small-0 large-8 columns"> ===Synonyms:=== ''Kentiopsis divaricata'' ===Habitat:=== Understory palm of wet forest slopes, from 60 to 1000m (200'-3000'), southern La Grande-Terre, New Caledonia.. ===Description:=== A slender feather palm to 7m, with a yellow crownshaft, and 4-6 leaves. ===General:=== The new leaf has intense colouration which is not commonly found in palms, either in shade or sun demanding species. The ecological value of such a phenomena is little studied but it is suggested that it is a mechanism to repel leaf-chewing insects. ===Cultivation:=== Sheltered, shady, moist position, in well drained soil. </div> </div> <div class="row"> <div class="small-0 large-6 columns"> [[File:Actinokentia_divaricata1.jpg|frame|Figure 2.
