Habitat and Distribution
Atlantic rainforest of Belize and Guatemala, often on limestone based soils, to 700m altitude.
Description
A small solitary palm to 2.5 m. tall. When young it looks similar to Chamaedorea metallica , but the blades are more deeply incised apically. According to Hodel its durable leathery leaves are perhaps the thickest in this genus. The leaves are blue-grey-green with a velvety aspect, and are just one feature of this very nice palm.
Culture
Warm, sheltered and moist. Likes mulch.
