chamaedoreachamaedorea
genusgenusElegant palm plants characterized by their slender stems and delicate, feather-like fronds that create a graceful, tropical appearance. These compact palms naturally grow in the understory of rainforests, thriving in shaded conditions.
Etymology
The name comes from Greek words 'chamai' meaning 'on the ground' or 'dwarf' and 'dorea' meaning 'gift', referring to their relatively small size compared to other palms.
Interesting fact!
Despite their tropical appearance, these are among the most cold-tolerant of all palm plants, with some naturally growing in mountain cloud forests at surprisingly high elevations.
