Chrysalidocarpus lutescens is a perennial tropical plant that grows to 6–12 m (20–39 ft) in height and spreads from 3-5 m (8-15ft). Multiple cane-like stems emerge from the base, creating a vase-like shape. The leaves are upward-arching, 2–3 m (6 ft 7 in – 9 ft 10 in) long, pinnate, with a yellow mid-rib. The petiole is yellow-green in colour and waxy in texture, with a maculate base.
It is grown as an ornamental plant in gardens in tropical and subtropical regions, and elsewhere indoors as a houseplant, one of the most important commercially.[6] It has gained the Royal Horticultural Society’s Award of Garden Merit.
