This is a single trunk species from Brazil. Polyandrococos is a monotypic genus with only one species. More recently a taxonomist grouped it with Allagoptera. Its height is variable, depending on conditions. However, some trees can get up to thirty feet tall. The trunk is medium sized, about twelve inches thick, with no crown shaft. The leaves are eight to ten feet long and very silver underneath. It also has gorgeous clusters or orange colored (mature) seeds that are the color of orange sherbet ice cream. This is a very rare plant and hard to find.
