Originating from the Vanuatu Islands, northeast of Australia, this beautiful ruffled fan palm leaves look like pieces of "rough-cut" potato crisps - yum! Its dark, glossy green, pleated, fan-shaped leaves are absolutely stunning though the serated edges, almost like saw-tooth can pose a slight hazard. This species has the most circular, smallest fan shaped leaves of all.
Though I have seen both, indoors and outdoors specimens, I have noticed the indoors plants and those in partial shade appear more refined than those outdoors, whose leaves been hardened by the scorching sun.

strong and luxuriant
If considering a unique tropical palm with a bit of pizzazz into your home or garden, this one certainly looks the part.
