Dictyosperma albumis is a member of the palm family found in the Mascarene Islands in the Indian Ocean (Mauritius, Réunion and Rodrigues). Dictyosperma album is widely cultivated in the tropics but has been farmed to near extinction in its native habitat. It is commonly called princess palm or hurricane palm, the latter owing to its ability to withstand strong winds by easily shedding leaves. It is closely related to, and resembles, palms in the genus Archontophoenix. The genus is named from two Greek words meaning “net” and “seed” and the epithet is Latin for “white”, the common color of the crownshaft at the top of the trunk
