Pritchardia lowreyana, the Molokai pritchardia,[2] is a species of fan palm that is endemic to Hawaii in the United States . It is found in mixed mesic and wet forests on the island of Molokaʻi. P. lowreyana reaches a height of 2–4 m (6.6–13.1 ft), and normally grows in gulches and on cliffs.[3] It was named in 1918 for Cherilla Storrs Lowrey (1861–1918), an American clubwoman active in tree-planting and beautification projects around Honolulu.[4]
