Kentia palm, Howea forsteriana, 2.
The Kentia palm, Howea forsteriana, gained popularity, first in England then elsewhere, as it is more tolerant of cooler claimants and neglect than other palms. And, as a favorite of Queen Victoria, it became associated with royalty, and all of those who could afford to, had to have one, or several. Because of this, it was even on the ill fated Titanic. As seen in the San Francisco Botanical Garden in Golden Gate Park 10 March 2022.
