medium to small closely clustering, understory Madagascan palm with short to no petioles and bifid leaves. Plant resembles
Dypsis paludosa only smaller overall (leaves, thickness of stems and height) with less color in the leaf bases and crownshafts/stems. Also, unlike
Dypsis paludosa, all
Dypsis procera are bifid (not split leaf OR bifid). Grows as tall as 18' in nature, but rarely that tall in cultivation (more like 10'). Cold hardiness not well tested, but seems less cold hardy than
D paludosa as well (maybe 34F).
