===Habitat:===
Dry, open forest of south Madagascar.

===Description:===
A medium to large palm to about 8m tall,
with gracefully arching leaves to about 3m long, with very narrow leaflets.

===General:===
This plant develops a very vigorous root system of fleshy white roots,
where it stores up water for dry times.

===Culture:===
Full sun, and very well drained. Does seem to be able to take
quite a lot of water, as long as the drainage is good. Quite a slow grower.
Notice the roots already starting to come out of the bottom of the pot.
