Pritchardia minor, also known as the Alakai Swamp pritchardia or loulu, is a palm tree that is native to Hawaiʻi. It can be found in the wet forests of Kauaʻi at an elevation of 1,400 metres. This palm can grow up to 12 metres tall and has a trunk with a diameter of 100 millimetres. Its leaves are initially yellowish and may maintain this color on the undersides when mature. The leaves are smooth on top and have a waxy, greyish to yellowish covering on the undersides. The palm produces shiny black fruits that contain a seed up to 15 millimetres in diameter. Despite its name, the Alakai Swamp pritchardia is not endangered. It thrives in sunny, well-drained, and moist environments. This palm is also known as Alakaʻi loulu and its synonym is Pritchardia eriophora.
