Dypsis onilahensis (listed here as Chrysalidocarpus onilahensis) is a clustering, feather-leaved palm from Madagascar with arching leaves and a graceful weeping look. It is rarely grown outside its native range, and it is threatened in the wild by habitat loss.
Dypsis onilahensis is a species of palm tree in the family Arecaceae. It is endemic to Madagascar as is reflected in the species name (onilahensis) referring to the Onilahy River, south of Toliara. It is threatened by habitat loss.
Chrysalidocarpus onilahensis is native to northwestern and western Madagascar as well as south-central Madagascar. In the northern part of its range it may be found growing in riverine forest at between 50–300 m (160–980 ft) elevation, and between 750–2,400 m (2,460–7,870 ft) in riverine or evergreen forest remnants in the central mountains and southern parts of its range.
