Wodyetia bifurcata (Foxtail Palm)

Wodyetia bifurcata, the foxtail palm, is a solitary palm native to the Melville Range in northeastern Queensland, Australia. Its leaflets spread in several directions around each leaf stalk, giving the fronds their bushy, tail-like appearance. Flower clusters emerge below the crownshaft and carry male and female flowers on the same plant. Widely planted as an ornamental in tropical regions, it became a common landscape palm in southern Florida. Photographed in Colombia.
