The Seychelles palm frog (Sooglossus pipilodryas) is so called because it is usually found hiding in the axils of palm trees. It is the most arboreal of the Sooglossidae and this makes detection difficult. As a result the palm frog is the most recent species of the family to have been discovered (in 2000). More recently^[when?] it is the 7th most recent frog to be discovered. It is only found in the forests of Silhouette Island in the Seychelles group making it almost impossible to detect. It is closely related to Gardiner's frog, Sooglossus gardineri.
