🌴 THREE PALM GENERA. ONE BIG BOTANICAL SHAKEUP!

Whatever happened to Kentiopsis and Actinokentia?

If you've been growing palms for a while, you might have noticed that some familiar scientific names have seemingly disappeared.

Kentiopsis oliviformis? Now Chambeyronia oliviformis

Actinokentia divaricata? Now Chambeyronia divaricata

In 2021, a major taxonomic revision brought three New Caledonian palm genera together under one name: Chambeyronia

The result? Nine recognized species, including the spectacular Flamethrower Palm.

📖 Our latest installment of the What's in a Name? series explores the fascinating science behind these changes.

👉 Read the full story! Link in the first comment.

💬 Palm enthusiasts: Are you still using the old Kentiopsis and Actinokentia names?

Carpoxylon macrospermum
Aneityum Palm

Imagine a palm so rare that scientists believed it had disappeared forever. Native to the South Pacific island nation of Vanuatu, this magnificent species was once thought to be extinct until its remarkable rediscovery in 1987!

With its brilliant green crownshaft, gracefully arching leaves, and large red fruits, it's hard to imagine such a spectacular palm nearly disappearing from the wild.

🌎 Today, this species remains critically endangered, but conservation efforts and cultivation have helped give this extraordinary species a fighting chance.

Syagrus romanzoffiana
Queen Palm

Few palms seem to divide enthusiasts quite like this species.

Too common? Overplanted? Too messy?

The Queen Palm has heard it all! 😂

But take a look at this beautiful specimen. With its graceful, arching fronds, lush green crown, and elegant silhouette, a healthy specimen like this one from can be absolutely spectacular.

Sometimes we get so caught up in chasing rare and unusual species that we overlook the beauty of palms growing right in front of us.

🌴 So let’s settle this: Does the Queen Palm deserve more respect, or is its reputation justified?

We want to hear from you! 👇
