Cordyline congesta, often referred to as narrow-leaved palm lily, is an evergreen Australian plant. It is a rare shrub that grows up to 3 meters (9 feet 10 inches) tall and was discovered on the margins of a rainforest, and in riverine scrub and moist gullies in eucalyptus forest. Growing north from the Clarence River, New South Wales.
Leaves long and thin to lanceolate. Up to long by , with stiff marginal teeth near the base of leaf; leaf stem up to long. Small white to mauve flowers form on panicles. Flowering occurs from September to October. Fruit an orange-red berry, in diameter, ripening from December to March. This species propagates easily from seeds, suckers or stem cuttings.
Similar to Cordyline stricta and C. rubra; however, C. congesta has jagged, fringed or scalloped leaf margins, particularly near the leaf base.
