Palms No One Has Ever Heard Of

What palms have you heard of that have little information on them/no one has ever heard of?

As always, pictures are helpful.

Two palms that are since long times very common in cultivation: Rhapis humilis and Trachycarpus wagnerianus. We don’t know anything about their natural habitat, only that it must be somewhere in China (and not in Japan where both species were cultivated since a couple of centuries in Buddhist monasteries).

I knew that Trachycarpus wagnerianus/fortunei was like this, but I did no know this about Rhapis humilis.

Information on these palms and links are helpful, too.

There are also palm species that have wildly different native ranges depending on the source.
