Chuniophoenix nana

Chuniophoenix nana
[Chuniophoenix humilis]
[ Palmae ] [ China ]

A diminutive palm to only about 1.5m (5ft) tall with dainty, narrow, fan-shaped leaves, reminiscent of a Rhapis. This palm should make a perfect pot plant as it is quite tolerant of low light. It is very rarely collected, and we only have a small quantity available.
