Pelagodoxa henryana

Naturalisation of Pelagodoxa henryana has occured in the Solomon Islands, where a cultivated grove near a long abandoned settlement has regenerated. A recent report of a Pelagodoxa sp. which has fruits to only 2cms in diameter at maturity as occuring in Vanuatu, has fueled speculation that there may be another species, but a determination has yet to be completed. One may presume at this stage that this small population in the Banks Group may be depauperate specimens of Pelagodoxa henryana . More

Pelagodoxa henryana has attracted a great deal of interest historically and currently resulting in research, ex situ collections, and private collections. Documented ex situ collections of the Fiji and Marquesan source palms are managed within botanical gardens internationally. More
