Dypsis albofarinosa (Dypsis albofarinosa)
Description
Before this palm was described in 2003 by Don Hodel, it was sold by Jeff Marcus of Floribunda Palms as Dypsis sp. 'white petiole,' due to the juvenile's trait of a new spear with a white petiole. It was from Jeff's parent plant (adjacent photos) that the description was accomplished. This slender graceful palm is definitely in the D. baronii complex, and looks like a cross between the weeping form of D. onilahensis and D. baronii, with powdery white crownshaft and slightly drooping leaflets. It differs from most forms of D. baronii with it's more slender stems, and from the weeping form of D. onilahensis with less drooping of the leaflets and slightly less white on the trunk and stem. The stems range between 1.5-2.5 in./3.8-6.4 cm. and may be up to 15 ft./4.5 m. tall.
