Areca recurvata

palm DATA

Habitat: Forested Hills in Peninsular Thailand

Notes:  Although merged by taxonomists into Areca montana, Jeff feels like this is distinct enough to warrant its own name due to the extreme curvature of the inflorescence. 

Cold Hardiness: Prefers Tropical Setting

Conservation

There is little information on the populations within Thailand, but the limited distribution indicates that it is at risk.
