摘要
描述并说明了cytostachys renda Blume。产于马来西亚半岛、苏门答腊、婆罗洲和泰国南部的低地泥炭地和淡水沼泽栖息地,是华莱士线以西发现的唯一Cyrtostachys属成员。这种雌雄同株的棕榈很容易区分其醒目的鲜红色冠轴和叶鞘,使其成为热带景观中非常理想和广泛种植的观赏植物。虽然由于淡水沼泽森林栖息地的丧失,其在新加坡的自然种群数量有所下降,但该物种仍然是新加坡植物园历史景观的一大特色。
Cyrtostachys renda Blume is described and illustrated. Occurring in lowland peat and freshwater swamp habitats throughout Peninsular Malaysia, Sumatra and Borneo and southern Thailand, this species is the only member of the genus Cyrtostachys found west of the Wallace Line. This monoecious palm is easily distinguished by its striking bright red crownshaft and leaf sheath, making it a highly desirable and widely cultivated ornamental plant in tropical landscapes. While its natural populations in Singapore have declined due to the loss of its freshwater swamp forest habitat, this species remains a distinctive feature of the Singapore Botanic Gardens' historic landscape.
