Look how Sabinaria is already watching outside, dreaming about the wonderful journey to airport... landing very well under coconut canopy of some srilankan garden.:)

Man, you guys make me wanna get one! But the prices are too high right now and I am content to watch everyone else growing it, for now. I also have a feeling this palm will be as common as a Kerriodoxa in ten years or so. I have one of those on my three properties and sold a bunch recently, I grew up to ones and three gallons, from seed. I like Kerriodoxa but I am not crazy about it...

The seed arrived at the end of 2015 with the first sprout forming march 2016. This palm has been a great grower down here and I am excited to see what it will do in the ground.

So the sun/climate of Miami seems to give better growing conditions than my 50 W reading lamp … ;)

Beautiful job with that, Scott. Kudos! I wonder how mature leaves will do in seasonally windy areas without standing canopy overhead, but it sure is pretty, even in youth. Think most people don't understand the practical difficulties of nurturing delicate dinosaurs in their gardens, so predict it will probably be *mostly* restricted to the conservatories of a few public gardens and sheltered, fully tropical areas once they start to mature. That having been said, certainly worth every effort to site it where it gets max heat, humidity and protection from anything stronger than a breeze.

Jim, this is how they looked when they came.  These were for a friend who gave me the largest one of the four which is right now is on it´s fourth leaf., a small spear about 4 inches.  It looks great.  I was worried about my salty air but the rainy season just started and it´s beautiful.  It´s warm here and I keep it in full shade.

It´s only been here a couple of months and I am thinking of putting it in the ground.

Peter,

You're on the good coast, if you sail westwards enough and carefully, you'll reach our lovely srilankan island, and your Sabinaria will be so happy. we'll offer you some tea :mellow:

Sounds like a great start to your new job with the fringe benefits of photographing a Sabinaria on your break! Of course it is on my wish list...

Jay, would you mind elaborating on this? What do you mean by "delicate dinosaurs"? Also, why do you think it will be so sensitive to a bit of chill, and to what degree? What else can you tell me about growing it? Mine is pushing out its 4th leaf right now and I want to keep it as happy and healthy as possible. Thanks!

These relatively large palms originate from one one the most hyper-tropical environments in the world, Chocoan pluvial forest. The attain respectable sizes in nature and gave large leaves that look extremely wind-intolerant. While no doubt an outstanding subject for large/tall tropical greenhouses and conservatories, I wonder how they will perform when pushed out into the wide world and poke their heads above the surrounding canopy? From a purely climatic standpoint, I think growers who succeed with Itaya long-term will probably do well with them.

Would guess it's also not crazy about limestone soils, but this will not be an issue while still in pots in FL.

Thank you for this information! I will research this Chocoan pluvial forest they are native to. Is that the same forest as Choco Forest? I love having this specific information, for the care of my animals as well as my plants!

In contrast to the seedlings growing in natural habitat under the canopy of tall trees the seedlings in cultivation can have extremely short leaf petioles even if grown on a relatively shady northern window sill in Germany:

Yes, the locality in Colombia is a rifle shot ("...less than one km away...") from the border with eastern Darien in Panama. Almost certainly occur their too.

So why was it not discovered until 2013? I know it's not a safe area to visit, but certainly it hasn't always been unsafe. Didn't botanists and naturalists do a crap ton of exploring in the 1800s and before? It's not like it's a small plant to be overlooked. 

What is the best resource to learn all about this palm? I've read the initial publication. Anything more current?
