Beccariophoenix madagascariensis, commonly known as the Giant Windowpane Palm or Windowpane Coconut, is a species of flowering plant in the Arecaceae family. It is a large Coconut relative that is vulnerable in its habitat in Madagascar.
Beccariophoenix sp. 'Windows'
The Beccariophoenix variety with the "windows" was previously considered a variety of this species, but John Dransfield is renaming that variety. It is quite different when a seedling, in having wide, mostly unsplit leaves, whereas the 'madagascariensis' variety has fully split, very stiff upright leaves when young.
