Butia archeri is one of several dwarf species, this one from south Brazil. It is usually a stemless palm, but can develop a stem up to 3' tall (or long, as sometimes these crawl along the ground) in nature. Here in California there are certainly some growing, but most are still very small as this is an extremely slow growing palm. But it seems to be fairly drought and cold tolerant so would make a good palm for many smaller California gardens.
