Common Name: Thai Mountain Fan Palm
A recently described (see "Principes" Vol. 41, No. 4) rare species from a single mountain range in northern Thailand, where it grows on exposed ridgetops and spectacular limestone cliffs at over 2000m a.s.l. and is regularly obscured by clouds and buffeted by wind. It has a bare trunk and an attractive small and compact crown of regularly split fan-shaped leaves. Being quite unlike any other Trachycarpus , it will be an envied addition to the temperate or subtropical garden. Any plants larger than seedling size are as yet unknown in cultivation.
