Pigafetta is a genus of two palm species in the family Arecaceae.[1]
They are native to the Maluku Islands, Sulawesi, and New Guinea[2] where they grow near rivers and in forest clearings up to 900 m in elevation. It is named for Antonio Pigafetta and is sometimes misspelled as Pigafettia. Thought to contain only one species, in 1994 it was recognized to have two; P. elata and P. filaris,[2] both of which are among the fastest growing palms.
