Its long arching leaves are arranged on just two planes on opposite sides of the trunk giving the look of a ladder. Numerous narrow fishtail leaflets medium to dark green in colour above, with silvery green undersides are in clusters and spread on several planes giving a plumose appearance. A medium sized palm the crown is nearly half the height of the tree. This handsome palm is however relatively short lived as it gets to around 15 years old then takes up to 4 years to complete flowering after which the palm dies. A very desirable but scarce palm, a great one for the collectors.
