Veitchia arecina,[3] commonly known as Montgomery palm,[4] is a species of flowering plant in the family Arecaceae. It grows to between 25' and 35' (7.60m and 10.60m) and has white or yellow blooms.[5]
It is found only in Vanuatu. It is threatened by habitat loss.[1] It is being offered as a landscape design suggestion in areas of Florida where the annual low temperatures do not exclude it as a choice.[citation needed]
