Latania lontaroides
[L]
[ Palmae ]
[ Reunion Island ]
Latania is a genus of 3 species, all native to the Mascarene Islands. They have stiff costapalmate leaves, giving them a unique appearance, and they make excellent pot palms when young. They are easy and satisfying to grow, not fussy and will flourish in a wide range of frost-free, warmer climates. The three species are distinguishable especially when young by the colour of the leafstalks for which they are named. Latania lontaroides or 'Red Latan' has reddish leaves and red leafstalks when young.
