Dypsis singularis is a species of flowering plant in the Palm Family (Arecaceae or Palmae).[1] It is found only on the island of Madagascar. It is threatened by habitat loss. It is remarkable for its height to width ratio; the greatest of any tree. It is up to 19ft 8in (six meters) tall while being only 2/5ths of a inch (one cm) in diameter,[2] a length/width ratio of 600 fold. It is a fairly recent discovery, being unknown to botanists prior to 1995.[3]
