Common Ivy Palm is a small to medium sized tree. It has large compound
leaves arranged in spirals or whorls around the stem. The leaflets, about
20 cm long each, are numerous and arranged in two rows, about 12-14 pairs.
The stem is covered in fine golden hairs near the growing tip that are
easily scraped off. Old leaves falling off leave leaf scars along the
branch. The flowers are green - inflorescence is an umbel, produced near
the top of the branch. The fruits are small black berries about 1 cm
across and also borne on an umbel.
