Pritchardiopsis jeanneneyi Becc. |
Pritchardiopsis jeanneneyi is a species of flowering plant in the Arecaceae family, and the only species in the genus Pritchardiopsis.[1] It is found only in New Caledonia, where only one mature specimen survives in its native habitat. The cause of its rarity in the wild is because its meristem is edible.[2]
