''Beccariophoenix alfredii'', also known as the High Plateau Coconut Palm, is a recently discovered species of Arecaceae (palms), endemic to Madagascar. It is in the genus ''Beccariophoenix'', and is closely related to the genus ''Cocos''. ''Beccariophoenix alfredii'' is very similar in appearance to the coconut palm, although somewhat cold hardy, making it a good look-alike for the coconut in cooler climates. == Description == ''Beccariophoenix alfredii'' grows up to in height with a trunk up to in diameter. The trunk is unarmed and bare, with closely ringed leaf scars. The crown holds 30–36 pinnate leaves, which reach lengths of . Each leaf holds approximately 120 pairs of leaflets. The leaflets are very slender and crowded at the base, and are either rigid or somewhat pendulous. Towards the base of the leaf, leaflets are about long and wide. Mid leaf, leaflets are at their largest, being about long and wide. At the tip of the leaf, leaflets become smaller again, being long and wide. Dead leaves are marcescent in juvenile palms, but abscise neatly in adults. The inflorescence is infrafoliar and surrounded by a long, leathery spathe, which curls up on itself after abscission (due to drying out). The inflorescence stalk is long and elliptic in cross-section. The rachis is very short, long and bearing about 30–50 crowded, spirally arranged rachillae. The fruit is oblate, and dark purplish-black at maturity.〔
