This is another super rare and impossible to find understory single trunk palm with simple bifid green leaves and a think trunk. It was just discoved in 1995 and is from Honduras. Leaves are about 12 to 16 inches long and, from immature size, elongate a bit with age. The seeds from this species came from a well known botanist and are pure. It wants to be in shade or filtered light with very dappled sunlight at most. It is cold hardy into the upper twenties F. The size on sale are bands. We may have a few 1 gallon as well. But, it’s near impossible to find. If you like simple leaf palms, don’t miss out on this one. The garden photo is c/o Palmpedia.
