Clustering, slender to moderate palm climbing to 20m, often branching sympodially at
the base. Stem without sheaths, 1.0-2.8 cm in diameter, with, 1.2-3.5 cm; internodes
8-20 cm long, more commonly 15-20 cm. Leaf-sheaths varied in armature from
almost unarmed to densely spiny, with a distinct horizontal, sometimes folded, knee
below the petiole; spines dark brown or black, triangular, flattened at base, up to 3 cm
long, clusters of upward pointing spines often concentrated around the leaf-sheath
mouth to form a conspicuous cleft; mature sheaths with brown or grey indumentum;
ocrea to up 12 cm long, usually 8-10 cm, dry, papyraceous, tongue-shaped, often
longitudinally splitting and reflexed, becoming unrecognisable, armed on the margins
with spines more pale and bristle-like than those on the leaf-sheath, rarely unarmed.
Leaves ecirrate, up to 1.75m long, usually 1.2-1.5m; petiole to 20 cm long, rounded
abaxially, concave adaxially, ± 5 mm broad, variously armed with large black spines
to 3 cm long and small recurved black thorns; rachis triangular in section distally
armed as the petiole, spines becoming sparse distally; leaflets up to 30 on each side of
the rachis, sub-equidistant to equidistant proximally, grouped in 3’s to 6’s distally,
linear-lanceolate, finely acuminate to apiculate at apex, bluntly compact at the base,
up to 35 cm long by 2 cm broad at the widest point, + concolorous of with slightly
