| | Howea belmoriana (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22) |
 | | Howea belmoriana is a close relative of the Howea forsterana, and like that palm is native only to Lord Howe Island, an isolated speck of land some 200 miles off the coast of New South Wales, Australia. |
 | | The belmor, as it is commonly called, is an attractive palm very similar to H. forsterana, with the main distinction being that the pinnae on the fronds arch deeply up and out from the stem. |
 | | Strangely enough, it is easier to tell the species apart when theyre youg than as they mature, though a trained eye can always see the difference. |
