This is a rare dwarf Brahea from Mexico that has characteristic red fuzzy petioles (and underneath leaf, too) and sometimes some bluish in the leaves. I have only seen a few of these around and none taller than myself. Has nice, nearly completely circular partially divided fan leaves. It is a very slow growing palm, and makes a great landscape specimen, if you can find one. Some consider Brahea salvadorensis to be a variant of this as it also has fuzzy leaves on the underside. However, that palm is somewhat larger, and there is debate on it's actually being a Brahea dulcis variety.
