Archontophoenix myolensis Myola Palm A tall, slender, elegant palm, somewhat reminiscent of A. cunninghamiana, with a smooth trunk that can reach about 20 m (65 ft.) in height and a long, blue-green crownshaft that holds a spreading crown of elegantly arching leaves. It is native to northeastern Queensland where it grows only in a couple of locations of gallery forest on volcanic soil between 350 and 400 m (1100 and 1300 ft.) elevation near Myola on the Atherton Tableland. |
