===Synonymy:===
''Bacularia palmeriana''

===Distribution: ===
Australia. North-east Queensland. Confined to
Mts. Bartle Frere and Bellenden-Ker, in rainforest, on
granite, metamorphics and occasionally on shallow basalts
overlying metamorphics, from 300 - 1600m elevation.

===Derivation of Name: ===
Named for Edward Palmer, M. L. A.,
of whom Bailey wrote "indebted for much useful information as
to the uses made by the aboriginals of our indigenous plants".

===Description: ===
Clustering, small palm. Stems 1-6, to 3 m tall, 5-20 nun
diameter; internodes elongate, green; crown with 8-12 leaves.
Leaves regularly segmented with united pinnae, most often
with two segments either side of rachis, infrequently simply
bi~d, segments broadly adnate to the rachis, or regularly and
finely pinnate; petiole 5. 5 - 13 cm long; pinnae 2-24 per
leaf, dull to semi-glossy dark green above, lighter green
below; midrib prominent on both surfaces, veins numerous and
prominent on both surfaces, terminal pinnae broader than
laterals; lamina, when backlit under 10x magnification, has
numerous circular clear 'cells' to 0.1mm wide linearly
parallel to midrib and veins. Inflorescence to 60cm long.
Staminate flowers bullet-shaped in bud, glabrous, to 3mm
long by 2mm wide; petals apically rounded, green at anthesis,
not widely opening, deeply striate in the dried state;
stamens 6-9; connective not extending beyond the anthers;
anthers oblong. Fruit elongate/cylindrical, 10-15mm long by
5-7 mm wide, yellow or red at maturity; epicarp smooth or
moderately rugose. Seed elongate/ellipsoid.
 
''Linospadix palmeriana'' is the most consistently
diminutive species in the genus. Plants are most often less
than 1 m tall, with stems less than 10 mm diameter. Leaf
lamina is rigid with ribs raised on both sides.
''Linospadix palmeriana'' - as ''Bacularia palmeriana'' - was
described by F. M. Bailey from a collection taken at
700 m altitude on Mt. Bellenden-Ker, Queensland.
