Adult
Seedling
This low growing relative of B. armata has perhaps the bluest leaves of any palm. It comes from Mexico and has a prostrate habit, making it the perfect choice for the bright conservatory. It is rare in the wild and seeds are difficult to come by, often because those that are produced are usually predated by insects.
