Stems: Solitary, erect, gray or brown, to 12 m in height and 25 cm in diameter. Old leaves persist on the stem, leaving closely spaced rings of leaf scars when they fall away. Eventually the rings wear away to leave a relatively smooth (corky toward the base) stem.
Leaves:Costapalmate, with a prominent hastula, induplicate, dull olive green, up to 2 m across, and divided to about two-thirds its length into stiff segments with drooping, bifid tips. The petioles are armed with robust marginal teeth toward the base (sometimes lacking these teeth).
Flowers and fruit: The inflorescences are 1-1.5 m long and branched to five orders. Flowers have both male and female structures, pale yellow. The fruit is ovoid, about 2 cm across, and greenish to grayish blue when mature.
Field: Solitary, erect, gray or brown stems with closely spaced rings of leaf scars, eventually wearing away to leave a relatively smooth (corky toward the base) stem.
