Hydriastele rheophytica

[realarch]

The inflorescence on this diminutive little palm looked so similar to Pinanga, I had to do a double take. Looking at reference material, it’s genetic relationships remain unclear, that’s as far as I got.

Anyway, a nice small, almost dainty palm that cannot be overwatered.

That's beautiful! I wonder if there's more blooming than usual with the recent dry weather.

I believe the pinaningodides metallic has the same flowers

Here's a pic of the four I planted, taken August 2021. BTW, I have a couple of pots of around 50 rapidly growing seedlings that I have no idea what I'm going to do with.
