Licuala peltata var. sumawongii
[Licuala elegans]

' Sumawong's Palm '

[ Palmae ]

This is the magnificent and much desired, entire-leaved variety of Licuala peltata, sometimes erroneously also called Licuala elegans. It is a moderately sized palm with usually only a short trunk, and its crown holds as many as 15 huge, flat, undivided fan leaves up to 2 m (7 ft.) in diameter! This species is much more tolerant of cool conditions than nearly any other Licuala and it will thrive in subtropical and tropical conditions.
