CHAMAEROPS HUMILIS

A genus of one species of shrubby palm from dry scrub and rocky or sandy slopes in the W. Mediterranean region. Its pinnate leaves are densely borne in tufts or rosettes, and the tiny, 3-petalled flowers are produced in panicles from the lower leaf axils. Yellow flowers are borne in dense, almost hidden panicles, up to 35cm long, from spring to summer, best grown in a cool green-house or as a houseplant. In warmer areas, use as a specimen plant for a small garden.
