Chamaerops (Greek for dwarf bush). Palmaceae, tribe Sabaleae. Low fan-leaved palms.
  −
  −
Caudices cespitose, branched from the base and clothed with the bases of the lf .-sheaths: lvs. terminal, rigid, semi-orbicular or cuneate-flabellate, deeply laciniate, the lobes narrow, bifid, plicate; no rachis; ligule very short; petiole slender, bi-convex, the margins smooth or rough; sheath split, reticulate, fibrous: spadices short, erect compressed; branches short, densely fld.: spathes 2-4, broad, thickly coriaceous, the lower ones split, the upper entire; bracts small, subulate; bractlets none: primary spadix branches bracted: fls. small, yellow: fr. globose or ovoid, 3-sided toward the base, brown or yellow.—Species 1 or perhaps 2. Medit. region. From Rhapidophyllum, an American relative, it may be distinguished by its bracted spadix. The common C. humilis is widely cult., and very variable. Many of specific-made names represent forms of this species. Of such cases are evidently the garden names C. arborescens, C. argentea, C. canariensis, C. elata, C. elegans, C. farinosa, C. gracilis, C. littoralis, C. nivea. G.C. II. 23:410.

The best soil for these palms is fibrous loam two parts, leaf-mold and sand one part, with good drainage. Propagated by suckers and by seeds. These are among the hardiest of all palms, and are well suited to greenhouses where a high temperature is not kept up. (G. W. Oliver.)
