Ptychosperma gracile is a species of palm tree. It is endemic to Papua New Guinea, including Woodlark Island (Muyua) in the Louisiade Archipelago, the Bismarck Archipelago,[1] and Buka in the Solomon Islands.[2] It grows in lowland rain forests. It has declined due to the loss of habitat to agriculture.[1]
