''C. nana'']] </div> <div class="small-0 large-7 columns"> ===Synonymy:=== ''Chuniophoenix humilis'' ===Distribution & Habitat:=== Found in open forest in Southern China and Vietnam. ===Description:=== A very attractive, small, suckering fan palm to about 1.5m tall, with stems/canes of about 2cm diameter and costapalmate leaves of around 35 cm diameter. It has hermaphroditic or bi-sexual flowers borne on intra-foliar inflorescences (i.e. both male and female parts are present in the same flower and only one plant is needed for reproduction) and hence self-fertilisation can take place. It has clusters of orange-red fruits. ===Culture:=== ''C. nana'' is an easy to grow cold hardy palm that prefers a high pH soil, and light shade, (but can tolerate low light). Likes it moist. Slow growing. Makes a very good pot plant. </div> </div> <div class="row"> <div class="small-0 large-6 columns"> [[File:Chuniophoenix_nana02.jpg|frame|Figure 2.
