Marojejya insignis is a species of flowering plant in the Palm Family (Arecaceae). It is found only in Madagascar. It is threatened by habitat loss. It is most noteworthy for unusual leaves in which the proximal (inner) half is entire, while the distal (outer) half is divided into leaflets. It's a fairly recent discovery, having been described by Humbert in 1955.[2]
