VEILLONIA
LPG Area:
Distribution:
1 species endemic to New Caledonia
Relatives:
Burretiokentia
Growing Comments:
A rare palm from New Caledonia, Veillonia alba has not been an easy palm to acquire because of its scarcity. However, like all other palms from New Caledonia, it has shown itself to thrive in our rainforest environment, and is a steady but somewhat slow grower, rating a 3.0 on a 1-10 scale.
