Dypsis madagascariensis - Wikipedia

Dypsis madagascariensis is an evergreen, feather palm growing up to 18 metres tall. It can have a solitary, unbranched stem up to 30cm in diameter, or can form a small cluster of 2 - 4 stems. The stems are topped with a crown of 7 - 12 leaves that can each be up to 350cm long

The tree is commonly harvested from the wild for a range of local uses, including as food, medicine and a source of wood. An attractive plant, it is often cultivated as an ornamental in tropical countries[
The felling intensity of Dypsis madagascariensis trees is locally high, but usually only mature trees are cut, which gives them some time to reproduce by seed. In many areas, regeneration is fair. However, as is the case with most other Dypsis spp. In Madagascar, the population of Dypsis madagascariensis has much declined as a result of forest destruction, and in national parks illegal cutting is still practised. Dypsis madagascariensis is not yet classified as vulnerable according to the IUCN system, but it is close to qualifying according to the criteria
