Plumose (fluffy appearance), pinnate (feather shape) leaves.  The individual leaflets are very

This is a very nice slender palm.  It does well in darker areas and has dark green leaflets.  It can be grown in more sun along the coast, but leaves tend to turn yellow.

This interesting dwarf palm, through my own experience, seems to thrive on neglect.  If you water it too much, give it a lot of fertilizer or pamper it, it will not do well.  I found just plant it and check it from time to time and you’ll get the best results.

Near impossible to find in nurseries.  Mail order possible.
