Rhapis Excelsa
Common name of Rhapis Excelsa Lady Palm is سيدة النخيل or miniature fan palm. Small, clump-forming palm with slender, erect, bamboo- or reed-like stem.
The long-stalked, deeply lobed, lustrous, dark green leaves, 20-30cm long, each have 3-10 broadly to narrowly lance-shaped, puckered lobes. Tiny, bowl-shaped cream flowers are borne in panicles, to 12cm long, among the leaves, in summer.
The lady palm (Rhapis excelsa) is a small palm species that grows in dense clumps of slender, upright green stems. On the stems are fan-shaped, glossy green fronds with between five and eight narrow, lance-shaped segments. This palm is tolerant of low-light conditions, which makes it a popular houseplant. Indoors, it grows much smaller than outdoors, growing 6 to 15 feet tall.
This palm has a relatively slow growth rate, gaining less than a foot in height yearly.
