Botanical Name:Archontophoenix Alexandra
Common Name:Alexandra Palm
Archontophoenix alexandrae (Alexander palm, Alexandra palm, King Alexander palm, King palm, Northern bungalow palm; syn. Psychosomatic Alexandra F.Muell.) is a palm native to Queensland, Australia. It is often used as an ornamental plant. Similar to the king palm. Usually the easiest ways to tell the difference between the two are that the Alexander palm has rings on the trunk that are spaced closely together, versus those of the king palm which are spaced somewhat widely apart. Also the leaves of the Alexander palm are less curved.

Botanical Name:Areca Lutescens
Common Name:Golden Palm
Dypsis lutescens (Golden Cane Palm, Areca Palm, or Butterfly Palm) is a species of palm, native to Madagascar. t is a small to medium-sized palm, growing to 6-12 m tall, with multiple stems from the base. The leaves are arched, 2-3 m long, and pinnate, with 40-60 pairs of leaflets. It produces offsets, and these can be cut off when mature enough as a propagation method. It is grown as an ornamental plant in gardens in tropical and subtropical regions, and elsewhere indoors.

Botanical Name:Beaucarnea Recurvata
Common Name:Beaucarnea
Beaucarnea recurvata (often called the ponytail palm in English, even though it is not a true palm) is a species of Beaucarnea often grown as a houseplant in temperate latitudes. Successful cultivation requires winter minimum temperatures of above 10°C, rising to around 30°C in summer. Beaucarnea recurvata needs full sun to light shade, with a well drained soil mix. A soil mix consisting of 2 parts loam to 1 part peat moss to 2 parts sand has been used successfully. To this mix, small gravel may be added to ensure good drainage. In a container, plants are very slow growing and very drought tolerant.

Botanical Name:Bismarckia Nobilis
Common Name:Bismarkia Palm
The genus is named for the first chancellor of the German Empire Otto von Bismarck and the epithet for its only species, Bismarckia nobilis. B. nobilis grows from solitary trunks, gray to tan in color, which show ringed indentations from old leaf bases. Trunks are 30 to 45 cm in diameter, slightly bulging at the base, and free of leaf bases in all but its youngest parts. In their natural habitat they can reach above 25 meters in height but usually get no taller than 12 m in cultivation. The nearly rounded leaves are enormous in maturity, over 3 m wide..

Botanical Name:Chamaedorea Elegans
Common Name:American Palm
Chamaedorea elegans (Neanthe Bella Palm or Parlour Palm) is a small palm tree, growing to 3 m tall with slender, cane-like stems. hamaedorea elegans is often grown as a houseplant, and was particularly popular in the Victorian era. It originates from the rainforests of Latin America in Mexico and Guatemala. It grows to a maximum of 2m tall with very slow growth, and prefers moderate to high humidity, but will grow in low to average home humidity. It can be grown in low light, but it grows best with bright, indirect light.

Botanical Name:Cycas Revoluta
Common Name:Kangi Palm
Cycas revoluta (sago cycad), is an attractive plant native to southern Japan. Though often known by the common name of king sago palm, or just sago palm, it is not a palm at all, but a cycad. This very symmetrical plant supports a crown of shiny, dark green leaves on a thick shaggy trunk that is typically about 20 cm (8in.) in diameter, sometimes wider. The trunk is very low to subterranean in young plants, but lengthens above ground with age. It can grow into very old specimens with 6–7 m (over 20 feet) of trunk; however, the plant is very slow-growing and requires about 50–100 years to achieve this height.

Botanical Name:Dypsis Decaryi
Common Name:Triangle Palm
Dypsis decaryi is a palm tree commonly known as the Triangle palm native to the Madagascan rainforest. It can reach 15 meters in height. The palm is a great ornamental plant and should be grown out in the open to show its unique shape. It prefers full sun and regular watering,although can handle occasional dryness and part shade. It is a fast grower once established and its seed normally germinates within a month of being planted.
