MattyB 2,037 Report post Posted October 10, 2011 Chamaedorea pumila ?? No Wow, I didn't expect this one to be that hard. Here's some clues (from PACSOA) Distribution & Habitat: Grow in wet forest between 500 1000 m altitude in slope of Cordilleras de Tilaran, Central and Talamanca in Costa Rica , and Serrania de Tabasara in Panama. Chamaedorea ___________ is a very beautiful palm, easily recognized by its simple and oblong blades, prominent serrate leaf borders, shallowly bifid and with numerous lateral veins. This species is very uncommon and is found only in very wet forests on the slopes of altitude. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MattyB 2,037 Report post Posted October 10, 2011 Who's next? I'll go. I'll even give you the whole palm. Juvenille, but still distinct in it's look. If you've ever seen this palm you'll know it. The problem is that not many people have seen it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
