Verschaffeltia splendida ("Latanier Latte" or stilt palm[2]) is a species of flowering plant in the family Arecaceae.

[citation needed] It is found only in Seychelles where it is threatened by habitat loss.

The slender trunk has a very hard outer covering.

The leaves are initially unbroken, and those of the young plants have black spines on their stalks.

They bear green-brown fruits with unique seeds.
