Ptychococcus is a monoecious genus of flowering plant in the palm family from New Guinea and the Solomon Islands.

[2] The staminate flowers are more or less asymmetrical and bear three distinct, hairy sepals, and three ovate, scaly petals.

The pistillate flowers are smaller, ovoid, and occasionally hairy; both sepals and petals are imbricate, the latter bearing scales.

There are three united staminodes forming a small cup, the gynoecium is ovoid and uniovulate; the pendulous stigma has three lobes.

The fruit is egg-shaped with a wrinkly exterior, divided into lobed segments when dry, and mature at orange or red.
