Ptychosperma macarthurii

Ptychosperma macarthurii is a species of flowering plant in the Arecaceae family. It is naturally found in Australia in Queensland and the Northern Territory and New Guinea. It was introduced to Hawaii.

A population of this species near Darwin was previously named Ptychosperma bleeseri and was thought to be lost due to habitat loss.

It was named after Sir William Macarthur, who was one of the most active and influental horticulturists in Australia in the 19th century.
