I fell in love with a small patch of a clumping or more likely running bifid leaf unidentified Chamaedorea species in Belize at the Belize Botanic Garden. The leaf is quite smaller than Chamaedorea ernesti-augusti that is quite common there. Does anyone know this Palm described. Does anyone have a source for a plant?

Chamaedorea Stolonifera is what it sounds like.

Chamadorea stolinifera or brachypoda.

Keep confined in a big pot or they’ll run and spread terror through your shady garden.

Some are variegated DROOL

+1 for C stolenifera.  I let mine go wild in one section of the garden.  Wished others would do the same.  Only way to accomplish this is multiple plantings.

Chamaedorea nubium is a suckering, bifid leaf species, also.  (Does not run, like C. stolonifera)   However, it seems much more rare.

DoomsDave, does C. brachypoda run as much as C. stolinifera or is C. brachypoda more closely grouped in its colony? Also which species has smaller leaves?

Thanks.

Stolonifera has smaller fronds.  Brachypoda clumps more in the same area

Stolonifera I have have runners but are slow growing and manageable. Brachypoda have the reputation of being invasive in FL because their runners travel faster and farther so plants pop up in all sorts of spots. I was advised to keep that one in a pot and don't let it escape. I think I have a pot of brachypoda somewhere, unless it croaked.

Meg, Would you sell a division of either of these running Chamaedorea?
