Allagoptera campestris

Allagoptera campestris

A stemless dwarf palm native to savanna vegetation in southern central Brazil, easternmost Paraguay and adjoining Argentina, where it grows to altitudes of 1500 m (4900 ft.). While generally similar to the other species in the genus, with plumose, arching leaves that are dark green above and densely silvery below, A. campestris is most easily distinguished by its stiff--not curly--leaflets. Due to its inland habitat at some altitude, it is by far the hardiest of the Allagoptera and will take some cold and moderate freezes. It will grow happily in warm temperate as well as in many tropical climates and prfers a place in full sun.
