Saribus jeanneneyi is a species of flowering plant in the Arecaceae family. It is endemic to New Caledonia, where only one mature specimen survives in its native habitat. The cause of its rarity in the wild is because its meristem is edible.[1] It was previously placed in the genus Pritchardiopsis, but phylogenetic studies based on DNA led to its transfer into Saribus.[2]
