Hollrung's palm (Calyptrocalyx hollrungii)
Description
This is a small understory palm, that can reach heights of around 2 meters or so, depending on its location. This palm is a clustering species, and will start to sprout small sucklings after a few years of life. Leaf detail: It has a variable leaf shape, ranging from a single bi-fold shape to being entirely pinnate. The different leaf shapes have even been recorded on a single clump. New leaves emerge a bright red color, as can be seen in the pictures, and stay that color for a few weeks. Editing by edric.
