Project Palm

Lanonia dasyantha
Vietnamese Paradise Palm

This may not be a palm you'll encounter every day, but that's part of what makes it so fascinating.

Native to Southeast Asia, this elegant fan palm is prized for its neatly divided leaves and graceful tropical appearance. While it remains relatively uncommon in cultivation, it's a wonderful reminder of just how much diversity exists within the palm family.

Thanks so much to Alessandro Marini for sharing this wonderful photo from his personal collection. Want to see more? Visit Project Palm to explore our growing Species Library, where you'll find detailed information, habitat notes, and photos shared by palm enthusiasts from around the world.
