This tall, thin attractive palm is native to the Vanuatu Islands where it is endangered due to habitat distruction. It has ornamental pendant leaflets closely spaced along the rachis, and a pale gray-green long crownshaft with a bit of a bulge at the bottom. I have seen this palm in all most the Hawaiian botanic gardens, and it's always tall... probably a fast grower. Has been tried often in southern California but usually fails due to our prolonged cool season. Too bad, it's a great looking palm.
