Pritchardia lowreyana
Also called Lowrey's loulu, Molokaʻi pritchardia, Moloka'i Pritchardia
Molokai pritchardia is a small Hawaiian fan palm, native to Molokai and Oahu, rarely exceeding about 4 m. It is rare in the wild and is grown mainly in botanical collections, so it needs warm, humid, frost-free conditions and steady moisture.
Pritchardia lowreyana, the Molokai pritchardia, is a species of fan palm that is endemic to Hawaii in the United States. It is found in mixed mesic and wet forests on the island of Molokaʻi. P. lowreyana reaches a height of 2–4 m (6.6–13.1 ft), and normally grows in gulches and on cliffs. It was named in 1918 for Cherilla Storrs Lowrey (1861–1918), an American clubwoman active in tree-planting and beautification projects around Honolulu.
