 This is the same "curly leafed" fan palm in Waykoolplant's "Fairchild...Again" thread.  There is a much better and bigger  picture of it there.

Really cool Palm.

I was wondering though if this particular species really has curly fronds or if this is just a freak of nature.

Wish it had seeds at time

It Thrinax parviflora var. parviflora.

I want one!
