This is my second favorite palm! The trunks of this palm are covered with spines giving it a most unique appearance. As you can these are starting to develop nicely. This plant is also unique because, there is only one species in this genus.
note: Most of my palms are small because of the high cost of these rare specimens but they are growing rapidly and soon enough I'll have some amazing species growing in my personal botanical garden!
