Species in the genus Dypsis of plants

 
 

Dypsis ambanjae - Dypsis ambanjae is a species of flowering plant in the Arecaceae family, endemic to the Madagascarian rainforests. The last specimen was collected more than 80 years ago, and it may be extinct.

Dypsis decaryi - Dypsis decaryi is a palm tree commonly known as the Triangle palm native to the Madagascan rainforest. It can reach 15 meters in height although it is rarely found that tall outside of its native habitat due to it being relatively new to cultivation. The leaves are about 2.5 meters in length, arching almost upright from the trunk and then arching gracefully about a meter from their tip. The leaf bases grow on three distinct sides of the plant, forming a triangle, which gives the palm its common name. Yellow and green flowers branch out from the lower leaves, which later produce round black inedible fruit about 25 mm in diameter.
