Acoelorraphe wrightii

Not uncommon in its home in the Florida Everglades and other swampy areas in the Caribbean, this lovely palm typically grows with three or four of its slim trunks towering above the rest of the clump. Small, neat, fan-shaped leaves atop chestnut brown stems gives it an attractive appearance. Requires acidic soil for best color, and, as you might guess, an abundance of water. Very adaptable; suited to tropical as well as temperate climates and can take some frost.
