Lady Palm

Rhapis humilis

Known for its slender leaves that fan out long and wide, the Lady Palm belongs to the palm family, yet its stems resemble bamboo — which is how it earned the 'bamboo' part of its Korean name.

Because of this, it's a fascinating plant that gives off the feel of an Eastern bamboo and a tropical palm all at once.

Thanks to this charming, in-between quality, it's said to have been a favorite among the nobility in Japan ever since the Edo period.
