Cyphosperma tanga is a species of flowering plant in the family Arecaceae. It is found only in Fiji. Cutting by the Forestry Department resulted in the serious depletion of one subpopulation in 1970 and also continues to affect another more recently discovered subpopulation. Seed crops of reasonable size appear to be extremely infrequent and it is threatened by habitat loss.[1]
