Chamaedorea glaucifolia
Glaucous Parlour Palm

One of the taller Chamaedorea, this solitary species from montane rainforests in southern Mexico grows with breathtaking speed and can reach a height of up to 5 m (16 ft.). Its feathery plumose leaves are very dark green with a touch of silvery blue and are held in a loose crown. It is equally well suited to tropical and warm temperate areas and looks best planted in dense groups. Similar to the closely related C. plumosa, it does well even in sunnier spots in the garden where most Chamaedorea would not grow well.
