It resembles the related Hyophorbe amaricaulis and Hyophorbe vaughanii, but with an inflorescence that branches in four (rather than three) orders, and orange-red fruits. The palm comes in 2 colours: The green one grows in the east coast of the Réunion, while the red one is endemic to Tampon region.[2]

The palm can be found growing in moist forests on the elevation of 175–600 metres (574–1,969 ft).[1]
