What are some palm species that grow on slopes on the sides of hills or mountains? I know that Chamaerops humilis grows on slopes in Southern Europe and Rhapidophyllum hystrix can be seen growing on the slopes of some of the hilly areas in the Deep South U.S. What other palms tend to grow on slopes naturally? Any pictures to share?

Alexanders are hillside colonizers here in East Hawaii.  Intro from Queensland, long since naturalized.  Someone was telling me the other day that they were introduced for their ability to prevent slope erosion.  Dunno if that is true, but all the Alexander hillsides i know of around here are intact!
