Rare in cultivation, this is basically a stemless palm that grows either singly or in small clusters. Has large blue-green fan leaves that are a chalky white on the underside. Very cold hardy for a Brahea, but doesnt like it too wet. Has spineless petioles (think only the only other Brahea that has spineless petioles is B nitida)
