rhapis species

Those were my favorites. I have a few with very little variegation, like this one.

Here are others with various combinations.

This one is more balanced than some, if you like them with more green. These are in the greenhouse with 60% shade and have done pretty well. I still have a couple that I bought in 1984.

Yes Tom, one day I will show up at your doorstep with money in my pocket. Do you have any with less variegated leaves?

Here is one that I got from Ken, he had it for an IPS auction. ..it is a dwarf with 3 and 4 leafs ....seems pretty tolorant of cold and had no damage during Vortex with only a sheet covering it. It was I think a cultivar from a well know South Florida Rhapis collector (Lady) but can't remember the bacK story on it....maybe I can find that auction thread somewhere. 

At first glance your Rhapis looks like R macrocarpa > cochinchinensis to me. Could you take a pic of the inflorescence (now in blossom and older relicts)?

Hi,

What Rhapis palm is this ?

Thanks & Love,

Kris.

I've been following this thread with interest. We have a R. excelsa 'forest' in the side yard; it is easily 300sf and spreading albeit slowly. It's mostly below a big mango; when fruit falls making my way through the thicket is no easy task, even though it's a monoculture..Part extends to a west exposure where it gets a bit of light and hence grows faster though not taller Height is about 6', and were  I not sitting on the beach I'd post a photo!!

As this is my first post I want to thank the folks here who have taught me a thing or two. 

(BTW Wondering about the placement of Rhapis spp. adjacent to Strelitzia? Is this temporary perhaps?)
