  • Text: "This species was described from a single plant growing in the Royal Botanic Gardens, Sydney. It apparently originated from seed collected in the Hawaiian Islands. D.R.Hodel (A review of the genus Pritchardia, Palms 51 (Supplement): S1-S53 (2007), recognised that P. maideniana and P. affinis Becc. [Mem. Benice P. Bishop Mus. 8: 37 (1921)] were conspecific, and found naturally on Kona, Kau and Puna islands, Hawaii. The name P. maideniana has priority over P. affinis."
