Podococcus
The genus Podococcus is represented by only two species and consists of pleonanthic, monoecious palms, acaulescent or when the stem aerial then erect, solitary or clustered; leaves pinnate; inflorescences interfoliar, rarely infrafoliar, spicate, bearing male and female flowers.
The genus Podococcus is distributed from the Niger Delta almost to the Congo River, in a band no further than 200 km from the coast with conspicuous disjunction between the Cross River in Nigeria and the Sanaga River in Cameroon.
The genus is present in lowland evergreen forest on terra firme, but also on relatively dry patches in swamp forest; from sea level to 700 m.
