Walking Stick Palm

Lniospadxi monosatchya - It’s a small rainforest palm with showy spikes of cream flowers and edible red berries. As the plant matures the leaves split to form narrower shaped leaves. Long drooping spikes of flowers are followed by bright red berries which are edible. The stem was used for a spear and fishing rod and the stripped leaves were used as string. As a rainforest plant its natural habitat is cool and humid. Prefers a shady sheltered spot, but will grow in filtered sun.
