It is threatened by habitat loss. It is the sole species in the genus Tectiphiala. Tectiphiala ferox was not known until 1965 when this new species of the Mascarene palm was discovered near Grand Bassin by Marc d"Unienville.
Individuals in this species can grow up to 9 meters.[3] The cytology of this species has not been studied.[2]
