An easy-to-care-for plant with an attractive trunk bearing the remains of old leaf stems, and also displaying very narrow arching leaflets compared to other palms.
It is perfect for anywhere where space is an issue as it never exceeds 3 m. or so, and consequently it also does well in a large container.
It is native to southeastern Asia, from southwestern China, northern Laos and northern Vietnam.
 Available in a 200mm pot.
