Positive palmbob On Jun 19, 2004, palmbob from Tarzana, CA (Zone 9b) wrote:

this is an extremely rare palm- only 4 individuals left in the wild on Hawaii, and also extremely rare in cultivation. It has large, wedge-shaped flat perfect leaves only barely split at the tips and the undersides are a luminscent coppery silver. Very ornamental if you can find the seed ... someday seedlings may be for sale if they can get the plants to reproduce.

Regional...

Venice, Florida
Mountain View, Hawaii
