Pinanga purpurea is a species of palm tree in the family Arecaceae. It is endemic to Sumatra.[1][2]
The species was described in 2002.[3] The name Pinanga purpurea had previously applied by Miquel in 1861[4] to another species, now called Cyrtostachys renda.[1] Miquel's name, however, was listed as a synonym without description, hence not validly published. Therefore, Hendra's 2002 name stands as a legitimate name, not a homonym.
