Lanonia yunnanensis is a new species being described this year. It is thought to be as hardy as L. dasyantha and can tolerate temperatures as low as 0C/32F.

 

This is the first time this elegant palm with slightly mottled leaves has been offered for sale. 3 dollars per seed. Shipping cost depends on the number of seeds and destination.

    Fresh Lanonia dasyantha seeds are available too.  1 dollar for each seed.

    The degree of leaf mottling in this species is affected by factors such as light and fertilizer.

    The leaves shown in the figures have a relatively good degree of mottling. Please note that not all leaves are guaranteed to look like this.

    Just received my L yannanensis seeds from Charway.  Well shipped/packed, no floaters, very happy.  Great communication and quick shipping as well.  Will update here about germination...

    I also received my seeds of Lanonia yunnanensis from China.  The whole process was flawless.  The packing was excellent and shipping was fast.  The seeds were fresh, packed in damp sphagnum with no floaters.

    Checked my baggie of Lanonia yunnanensis seeds yesterday and there are a LOT of sprouts.  I didn't want to disturb them yet so I am not sure what the rate is, but it's clearly high based on how many I saw sprouted and how close together they were in the bag.  Excellent seeds!   Thanks Charway!

    昨天检查了我的云南兰诺尼亚种子，发现发芽了好多！我还没来得及动它们，所以还不确定发芽率是多少，但从发芽的数量和它们在袋子里分布的密集程度来看，发芽率肯定很高。种子真棒！谢谢Charway！

    Great palm. But what makes this Lanonia different from L.dasyantha? Location for sure but what about leaf shape and infloresence? Could it be Lanonia dasyantha var. Yunanensis?

    The differences between it and L. dasyantha are provided here: https://palms.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/PALMSv70n1p005-011-Qin-New-palm-from-Yunnan.pdf

    Recently, I have collected many samples of L. dasyantha and L. yunnanensis from more locations, and we're working on their relationships in pollens, and evolution using better sequencing methods.
