The bottle palm (Hyophorbe lagenicaulis) is a slow-growing ornamental palm known for its distinctive, swollen, bottle-shaped trunk and graceful, feather-like fronds. Native to the Mascarene Islands, it thrives in tropical and subtropical climates with full sun and well-draining soil, making it a popular choice for gardens and indoor spaces. This critically endangered palm is prized for its unique appearance and addition of tropical elegance.
