Dypsis Baronii
''Dypsis'' is a genus of flowering plants in the family (biology), family Arecaceae. They are slender, evergreen palms with yellow flowers carried in panicles amongst the pinnate leaves. Many ''Dypsis'' species have aerial branching (above the main trunk), a rare growth habit among palms. Some have marcescent leaves that remain attached after death and trap litter for nutrients. Several species previously placed here have been returned to the restored genera ''Chrysalidocarpus'' (including the type species ''Chrysalidocarpus lutescens'') and ''Vonitra''. Etymology The etymology is obscure but may be related to the Greek ' ‘I dive’ or ' ‘diver’. The species are native to Tanzania, Madagascar, and various islands in the Indian Ocean (Mauritius and Comoros). A few are naturalized in other regions, especially in the Caribbean. Species ''Plants of the World Online'' currently (July 2024) includes: # ''Dypsis ambilaensis'' # ''Dypsis andapae'' # ''Dypsis andilamenensis' ...
