In New Zealand, for a palm to be allowed into the country, it first has to be placed on the MAF list. This is a list of plants that have been checked out by an organisation to determine whether or not the plant is likely to be a bio-security risk, via disease, bugs, or invasiveness. I am currently looking at adding all the Ravenea species to this list. Below is a list of 17 species, what I would be interested in knowing is, are there many (any) new Ravenea species in the pipeline that are likely to be officially described soon (or have been done so recently). I need to be able to quote literature.

albicans  

dransfieldii  

glauca  

hildebrantii  

julietiae

krociana  

lakatra  

latisecta  

louvelii  

madagascariensis  

moorei  

musicalis  

nana  

rivularis  

robustior  

sambiranensis  

xerophila  

Any help on this matter would be much appreciated.

Michael,

One that's been sold as a teeny seedling for a year or so is labeled as Ravenea sp. "giant". I have a few, but they're still awfully small. Jeff at Floribunda admitted that he wasn't sure what they were, (he even thought they could turn out to be R. rivularis). But they do show distinct black "scales" on the petioles, something I've not seen on R. rivularis. They are somewhat of a challenge to keep greened up for me, don't know why. But they're growing. Knowing how big R. rivularis gets makes one wonder makes one wonder as to why the name "Giant" was attached to this one. Probably need another year or two to see what these grow into....

What about "Anjouan" (sp)?

Zone 10a at best after 2007 AND 2013, on SW facing hill, 1 1/2 miles from coast in Oceanside, CA. 30-98 degrees, and 45-80deg. about 95% of the time.

I do some experiments and learning in my garden with palms so you don't have to experience the pain! Look at my old threads to find various observations and tips!
