The Norfolk Island Palm Rhopalostylis baueri is endemic to the Island but is not common outside the National Park, unlike the Kentia Palm which has been widely cultivated for its marketable seeds. Seeds germinate quite readily.
Norfolk Tree Fern Cyathea brownii is endemic to the Island, one of two tree ferns abundant in the National Park and scattered elsewhere. The photo shows two fine specimens towering over the gully vegetation in Palm Glen.
