__NOTOC__
===Common Name:===
Yunnan Dwarf Palm<br/>

The smallest member of the (''Trachycarpus'') genus, and one of the most
sought-after, this diminutive, very adaptable and extremely cold hardy palm
does not grow a trunk, or at least, only an underground or a shortly
emergent one. From Yunnan, in western China, they are pretty palms, not
unlike ''Chamaerops'' at first glance, and are often an attractive blueish
colour. A further interesting feature is the fact that the inflorescences
are held upright, an adaptation to keep them off the ground. Unfortunately
this makes them very vulnerable to the goats, with which the area is
over-run; consequently very few plants set seed. For the story of our
rediscovery of this unique palm, after 100 years, see Principes April 1993, Vol.37, 64-72.
