Hydriastele hombronii is a slender palm native only to the Solomon Islands, where it grows on ultrabasic (serpentine-type) soils. It is rarely grown outside its native range, so care guidance is general knowledge for warm, humid palms.
Hydriastele hombronii (formerly Gulubia hombronii) is a species of flowering plant in the family Arecaceae.
It is a palm found only in Solomon Islands, where it grows on outcrops of ultrabasic soil on Choiseul, Santa Isabel, and several other islands, from 100 up to 1,500 metres elevation. It is threatened by habitat loss.
