Adonidia is a genus of flowering plants in the Arecaceae family.
At present there are two recognized species.[2] The first and better known is the Manila palm (Adonidia merrillii), which is native to the Phillipines (Palawan and Danjugan Island), Malaysia (Sabah), and is reportedly naturalized in the West Indies.[2] The second is Adonidia dransfieldii, native to Sabah and first described in 2015.[3]
Manjekia maturbongsii was first described in 2012 as Adonidia maturbongsii,[4] but in 2014 it was moved to its own genus, Manjekia.
Some palms sold in retail outlets as "adonidia" are in fact Alexander palms, which are similar but even thinner.
