Plant Description:

- There has been lots of confusion regards the name of this plant in the past.
- Even today many growers confuse it with the Terminalia mantaly.
- The new foliage is slightly pubescent or hairy.
- The leaves too are shiny and pretty looking.
- The main stem is erect growing (especially so in young plants). This gives the plant a formal appearance.

Growing tips:

- Due to its pretty shape - expecially when young - plants are kept as indoor specimens.
- They have a limited life as indoor specimens. They quickly loose shape and drop their bottom leaves.
- Plants perform better in the garden.
- They look good when young. Their unique shape is lost once the plants mature.
