Dypsis pumila grows in bogs at 1500-2100 m asl, in the Marojejy national park, Madagascar.

The picture below was picked from the brochure on palms of Marojejy: http://www.marojejy.com/Pdf/BrochurePalmsEn.pdf

I would graciously donate all the seeds I can collect.....IF you could fund a partial trip there. :) It takes basically a full week to get to the actual habitat site where this palm is known to be found. And to this day, I regret not making the complete hike up to the summit to photograph this palm, and maybe collect a few seeds. I was probably less than an hour away on my hike when we turned back and came back down. :rage: It still haunts me to this day!

Ahhhh, old wounds! Salt please? And YES, I'm still be haunted to this day.......:rage:

Beautiful images Pando, thank you for sharing , those are some large seed for such a short palm, remind me of Pritchardia bakeri in our valley. Six feet tall palnts with golf ball sized

seed.

Probably because the palm is actually pretty tiny, and looks a lot bigger than it really is (image source: http://fieldguides.fieldmuseum.org/sites/default/files/rapid-color-guides-pdfs/709_madagascar-arecaceae_of_marojejy.pdf) :

Thanks the person by it puts it into perspective. That really is small. Im sure there are some zone pushers out there that would like to try it in there collection. Would be cool

to see if would survive at lower elevations and what the height would be.   Someday Im going to Marojejy.

Thank you for updating this topic with these beatiful new pictures! Nine years passed since my first post and Dypsis pumila is still a poorly known gem!

Great pics Pando, thanks for sharing.  Looks like this palm would be a rocket ship if we can get it into cultivation :floor:

The gap between the internodes is so small that the palm in the first pic is probably 40 years old.

Still a beauty of a palm even if it is a tiny one.

Wow! Has always been a holy grail palm for me. Will seriously consider buying. I’d imagine similar growing conditions to other high elevation Chrysalidocarpus sp would be a good starting point.

Quien vende los?

I’d guess it was RPS. I ordered 6 seeds in October, but unfortunately the RPS site oversold and I didn’t get mine. Apparently they plan to get them again but not until next year and it won’t be many. Good to see they’re in cultivation now at least.

We need an update on these @Navarro!

Was great that RPS somehow managed to get a few into cultivation. I’m still holding out hope they become available again, otherwise I might have to find a way to get up that mountain one day!

Wish I'd never seen this thread... an impossibly cute, probably cold hardy and virtually unobtainable palm to file away in the cabinet of dreams! Sigh.

Necesitamos una actualización sobre esto.@Navarro¡

Fue genial que RPS lograra cultivar algunos. Aún tengo la esperanza de que vuelvan a estar disponibles; de lo contrario, ¡tendré que buscar la forma de subir esa montaña algún día!

Dime cuando vas y me voy contigo !

Desgraciadamente murieron , encuentro todos los chrysalidocarpus en esa etapa muy delicados pero necesito volver a intentarlo

High altitude palms, ferns, cycadales, evergreen magnolias & quercus are my jam 

I can't help to wonder if sometimes I am crossing the fine line of sharing with generosity to feeding the dynamics of desire, ego and dependency. Or maybe there is no such thing
