Rodrigues Hurricane Palm

Very rare species

A tall growing, attractive palm from tiny Rodrigues Island, far out in the Indian Ocean. It has a prominent, pale crownshaft and a bright yellow or orange leafstalk and leaf-midrib.

The Rodrigues Hurricane Palm can also take considerable coastal exposure.
