You have a very good eye for your New Caledonian palms there Mat, :winkie: I especially like that broad leaf form of macrocarpa, here is an old photo of the Chambeyronia sp Houailou, I think this photo was taken in 95, They did have another name for it then but I cannot remember it you would have to ask Marc.D he might remember this old name? :hmm: This form held entire leaves for quite a long time, when they had the new red leaf as well they looked quite amazing. :drool:

I did mean to answer you back about that Basselinia as well, sorry about that..! It was collected from around 1600m on Mt Panie not from the top, I have been looking for that entire leaf form for a long time now though, :rolleyes: I think you would have to be Very lucky to find any seeds on that one especially after that climb..! :)

Regards,

Clayton.

That clarifies everything, thank you so much for your help, I have over 100 of them in all, and they are all closer to the one in mats photos, Ed

Hi Clayton,

Many thanks for your comments. I agree with you Houaïlou's form is pretty nice. The other name for this one could have been "Kua". I'm planing a trip to see them asap. I have to say I'm planing a lot of trip this year :winkie:

Many thanks again for your additional information about that particular Basselinia. Hope I will see them soon.

Mat.

I LOVE this palm! That's why I now have eight of them in the yard. Here's a pic of one of mine with new red leaf:
