Ptychosperma macarthurii, commonly called the Macarthur palm, is a small, clustering to multi-stemmed palm native to moist rainforests of northern Australia and New Guinea but is common in cultivation throughout the tropics and subtropics. Mature plants can reach up to 10m tall in the wild but more often reach 3m to 4m tall in cultivation with a 2m to 3m spread. The upright trunks are slender and grey with horizontal stripes from old leaf scars. The stems are topped with an open crown of compound leaves. The leaflets can have somewhat jagged tips. Clusters of small, creamy-white to light green flowers appear seasonally from the base of the crown. The flowers are followed by round, green fruits that ripen to bright red. Its fruits are attractive to birds which has led to its escape from cultivation and naturalization in many tropical regions.Β
Genus name comes from the Greek wordsΒ ptyche, meaning "fold" andΒ sperma, meaning "seed", in reference to a technical characteristic of the seed.
The specific epithetΒ macarthuriiΒ honours Sir William Macarthur, an Australian botanist and viticulturist.
