Cryosophila warscewiczii
[Cryosophila albida] ' Rootspine Palm '
[ Palmae ]
[ Central America ]
This beautiful and charming, medium sized fan palm from Central America has curious roots-transformed-to-spines that cover the slender trunk. The soft leaves are dark green above and silvery-white below and form a compact crown. Elegant and attractive, essential in the palm collection, excellent for the subtropical and tropical garden and one of the few fan palms that really do well indoors. Seeds of this fast growing palm are always in short supply.
