REally beautiful species from the Solomon Islands where it grows up to about 25'. It has a full crown of large, slightly folded, deeply pleated, stiff semicircular dark green leaves that have some frosty tomentum on the undersides. This may just be a naturalized population of Pritchardia pacifica, turns out.. hmmm
