Inflorescence pendulous at anthesis, to 2 m long, buds developing below crownshaft and erect at first, soon becoming de-curved and eventually horn-shaped; peduncle terete, curved, cm long, half-encircling stem and then abruptly narrowing to cm in diam.

The leaves are up to 5 m long, and pinnate. Due to its similarity in hardness and density in the stem, it is desired to verify the high lignin content in the chonta palm, since, if its chemical structure were similar, it could be used as the guadua in the construction of houses, as material Reinforcement and attractive color as landscaping element, it is known that the mechanical properties of lignin make it special, even today is the raw material of carbon fibers useful for the materials industry.

Developmental evidence helps resolve the evolutionary origins of anther appendages in Globba Zingiberaceae. Under extreme cold conditions we recommend you keep this palm as dry as possible, and well wrapped up.
