Description
A gracefully clustering palm with many trunks and a dense crown of many slighty pinnate leaves.
Culture
Tropical to sub-tropical in nature, but like most syagrus can tolerate some "discomfort" in winter as witnessed by a specimen growing in So. California.
Comments and Curiosities
Uncommon in cultivation, but certainly deserves more attention based on the photos on this page.
