This is a fairly graceful, suckering Ptychopserma from Papau-New Guinea that is known mostly for it's exaggeratedly 'bitten-off' (premorse) leaflets. It makes a wonderful landscape specimen in a tropical garden haveing a tightly packed cluster of thin stems (1") coming out at a slight curved from a single point and gracefully growing up to 40' (eventually).
