Read about Trachycarpus in the Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture
Trachycarpus (Greek, rough or harsh and fruit). Palmaceae, tribe Corypheae. Indoor and outdoor palms, one of which is widely grown and very hardy. Tall unarmed palms: lvs. suborbicular or reniform, folded, many-cut; segms. narrow; rachis none: spadices many between the lvs., stout, branched; spathes many, sheathing, coriaceous, tomentose, compressed; bracts minute: fls. small, polygamo-monoecious; sepals 3, ovate; petals 3, broadly ovate, valvate; stamens 6; carpels 3: drupes 1-3, globose or oblong.—About 4 species, Himalayas, China, and Japan. Monographed by Beccari in Webbia 1:41-72 (1905). Fortune's palm (T. excelsa or T. Fortunei) is grown both indoors and out in America wherever palms are grown, although it is not one of the most popular species with northern florists. It is grown throughout California and even as far north as Oregon. It is commonly known by the name of Chinese windmill palm in southern California. There are two types of trachycarpus, those which have the trunks covered with old leaf-sheaths—the Himalayan type—and those which have smooth polished trunks—the far-eastern species. ^CH The above text is from the Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture.
