Cyphosperma trichospadix
Cyphosperma trichospadix (trichospadix being derived from the Greek words for "hair" and "spadix," an allusion to the hirsute spathe of the inflorescence) is a species of evergreen flowering plant in the family Arecaceae. It is endemic to Fiji, currently threatened by habitat loss, and thus extremely rare in cultivation.
This understory plant thrives in rainy, cloudy mountains and forests at elevations ranging from to 2,000 to 4,000 feet (610 to 1,220 m).
