'''''Phoenix roebelenii''''' ('''Pygmy Date Palm''' or '''Miniature Date Palm''') is a species of [[Phoenix (plant)|date palm]] native to southeastern [[Asia]] from southwestern [[China]] ([[Yunnan]]) to northern [[Laos]] and northern [[Vietnam]].<ref name=kew>WCSP, World Checklist of Arecaceae: [http://www.kew.org/wcsp/namedetail.do?accepted_id=152704&repSynonym_id=-9998&name_id=152704&status=true ''Phoenix roebelenii'']</ref><ref name=grin>Germplasm Resources Information Network: [http://www.ars-grin.gov/cgi-bin/npgs/html/taxon.pl?28056 ''Phoenix roebelenii'']</ref> The name is sometimes mistakenly cited as ''roebelinii''. It is a small, slow-growing slender [[tree]] growing to 2 meters or 6-7 feet tall. It requires little pruning to develop a strong structure, is resistant to pests, is tolerant to soil variation, and is moderately drought tolerant. The [[leaf|leaves]] are 60-120 cm long, pinnate with around 100 leaflets arranged in a single plane (unlike the related ''[[Phoenix loureiroi|P. loureiroi]]'' where the leaflets are in two planes). Each leaflet is 15-25 cm long and 1 cm broad, slightly drooping, and grey-green in colour with scurfy pubescence below. The [[flower]]s are small, yellowish, produced on a 45 cm [[inflorescence]]. The [[fruit]] is a 1 cm [[drupe]] resembling a small, thin-fleshed [[Date Palm|date]].<ref name=rhs>Huxley, A., ed. (1992). ''New RHS Dictionary of Gardening''. Macmillan ISBN 0-333-47494-5.</ref> The Pygmy Date Palm is a popular [[ornamental plant]] in tropical to warm temperate areas, including [[Hawaii]], [[Australia]], [[New Zealand]], southern [[California]], coastal [[Texas]], [[Florida]], parts of [[Louisiana]] and [[Arizona]]. ==Cultivation== {{edit-cult}} ===Propagation=== {{edit-prop}} ===Pests and diseases=== {{edit-pests}} ==Species==  ==Gallery== {{photo-sources}} <gallery> Image:Upload.png| photo 1 Image:Upload.png| photo 2 Image:Upload.png| photo 3 </gallery> ==References== *[[Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture]], by L.
