Common Name:
Chamaedorea pochutlensis x graminifolia aka 'Irving Cantor' has been a fairly popular hybrid over the years as it fast growing, neat, elegant, hardy and a good indoor plant as well. However, this plant's popularity seems to be fading as the market becomes flooded with so many new palm species to grow.
