Chamaerops humilis 'Vulcano' palm houseplant
    • Chamaerops humilis 'Vulcano' is a cultivar of Chamaerops humilis L., or dwarf palm, is a fairly slow-growing, hardy umbrella palm native to the Mediterranean region. It reaches a maximum height of 5 m. The trunk is covered with brown fibers, as in the very similar looking hemp palm. The leaves are dark green, very stiff and hardy. 
     The name dwarf palm probably comes from the fact that only very few palms are allowed to grow so old as to reach the said 5 m height, so that the impression is given that it only grows to a maximum of a man's height.
    The hardiness of Chamaerops humilis is about -12 degrees.
    The etymological root of the binomial name Chamaerops is derived from the Greek chamai meaning 'on the ground' and rhops meaning twig.
