Walking Stick Palms,
Linnospadix
spp.
-
Walking Stick Palms are small plants, with
fishtail-like leaves.
-
They produce small, colourful red or orange
fruits that resemble tic-tacs. The fruits pictured belong to the Northern
Walking Stick Palm Linnopadix minor.
-
They have large seeds, but the little flesh
they do have is edible.
-
The 'Walking Stick Palms' are so-named as the
southern species from the sub tropical rainforests in northern NSW and
southern Queensland was once used for walking sticks.
