Trachycarpus
''Trachycarpus'' is a genus of eleven species of palms native to Asia, from the Himalaya east to eastern China. They are fan palms (subfamily Coryphoideae), with the leaves with a bare petiole terminating in a rounded fan of numerous leaflets. The leaf bases produce persistent fibres that often give the trunk a characteristic hairy appearance. All species are dioecious, with male and female flowers produced on separate plants although female plants will sometimes produce male flowers, allowing occasional self-pollination. Cultivation and uses The most common species in cultivation is ''Trachycarpus fortunei'' (Chusan palm or windmill palm), which is the northernmost cultivated palm species in the world. Cities as far north as London, Dublin, Seattle and Vancouver have long term cultivated palms in several areas. The dwarf form popularly known as ''T. wagnerianus'' is unknown in the wild, and is now considered synonymous with ''T. fortunei'' Flora of China''Trachycarpus fortunei ...

Trachycarpus Takil
''Trachycarpus takil'', the Kumaon palm, is a fan palm tree that is endemic to the foothills of the Himalaya in southern Asia. It is very similar to Trachycarpus fortunei, the Windmill palm. Distribution The palm tree is native to the Kumaon division of Uttarakhand Province in northwestern India, and into adjacent western Nepal. The palm grows at altitudes of and it receives snow and frost on a regular basis in its native habitat. Description ''Trachycarpus takil'' grows to tall, with a rough trunk covered in partial fiber from the old leaf bases as it sheds its fronds naturally leaving only a small part of the leaf bases on the trunk which also disappear in time. It is one of the cold hardiest palms to produce a tall trunk, tolerating temperatures from and possibly more (no official studies have been made). However, leaf damage or total defoliation due to extreme temperatures is a possibility. It is easily distinguishable from ''Trachycarpus fortunei'' from its in ...

Trachycarpus Latisectus
''Trachycarpus latisectus'' (formerly ''Trachycarpus sikkimensis'' ined.) is an attractive palm tree with large leathery leaves with exceptionally wide segments and a thick, bare and ringed trunk. Its fan-shaped leaves resemble those of '' Livistona''. It has a bare trunk and its seeds resemble those of '' T. martianus''. ''Trachycarpus latisectus'' is commonly known as Windamere palm, for the locality where its first botanical description was made, the garden of the famous Windamere Hotel in Darjeeling, India. It was formally photographed and collected for the first time only in 1992 during the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh Sikkim Expedition. It is considered a temperate palm, and has been reported to withstand a wide range of climates, from tropical, subtropical to cold and wet conditions. It is native to Sikkim in the Himalayas, where it has been reported from a range of elevation between 3500 and 7000 feet. It remains in the wild in just one tiny, heavily altered locati ...

Trachycarpus Martianus
''Trachycarpus martianus'' (also known as Martius' fan palm) is a species in the genus '' Trachycarpus'' from two distinct populations, one at in the Khasia Hills, Meghalaya Province, in northeast India, the other at in central northern Nepal. Other populations have been reported in Assam, Sikkim, Burma and southern China. The main identifying characteristics are the regular leaf splits (to about half way), the coffee bean shaped seeds (similar looking to ''Trachycarpus latisectus'') and the bare, as opposed to fibrous trunk. The new leaf spear and edges of the petioles are covered with a white tomentum. The species is named after the German botanist Carl Friedrich Philipp von Martius Carl Friedrich Philipp (Karl Friedrich Philipp) von Martius (17 April 1794 – 13 December 1868) was a German botanist and explorer.

Trachycarpus Princeps
''Trachycarpus princeps'' is a species of palm endemic to Yunnan in southern central China. It grows on limestone cliffs and ridge tops in monsoonal rain forest in the Salween River valley at elevations of . The epithet is Latin for "prince" and alludes to "the stately bearing of this palm and the majestic way it looks down from its lofty position on the sheer cliff faces" (Gibbons 1993). The species was described in 1995 by Gibbons, Spanner & Chen. The trunk grows to high with a diameter of , and is covered in dense fibres in all but its oldest parts. The leaves are semicircular, diameter, with 45–48 linear-lanceolate segments that extend halfway into the depth of the blade, which is bright medium green above and glaucous, bluish-white beneath.

Arecaceae
The Arecaceae is a family of perennial flowering plants in the monocot order Arecales. Their growth form can be climbers, shrubs, tree-like and stemless plants, all commonly known as palms. Those having a tree-like form are called palm trees. Currently, 181 genera with around 2,600 species are known, most of which are restricted to tropical and subtropical climates. Most palms are distinguished by their large, compound, evergreen leaves, known as fronds, arranged at the top of an unbranched stem. However, palms exhibit an enormous diversity in physical characteristics and inhabit nearly every type of habitat within their range, from rainforests to deserts. Palms are among the best known and most extensively cultivated plant families. They have been important to humans throughout much of history. Many common products and foods are derived from palms. In contemporary times, palms are also widely used in landscaping. In many historical cultures, because of their imp ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
