Common Name: none
Allagoptera campestris is a rare palm for California partly due to its rarity anywhere in cultivation, but also due to its incredibly slow growth rate (one of the slowest of any palm one can grow in California)- 10 year old palms usually still have strap leaves. Once mature it has a similar habit to the common popular Allagoptera arenaria, but with stiffer, straight leaflets instead of soft curly ones. At this time, no mature palms exist in California.
