This beautiful and charming, medium-sized fan palm from Central America has curious roots-transformed-to-spines that cover the slender trunk. The soft leaves are dark green above and a spectacular silvery white below, and form a dense crown. Elegant, attractive and fast growing, the Guáguara, as it is called in Costa Rica, is essential not only for the palm collection, but it really has some potential for the commercial grower. It is excellent for the frost free warm temperate and for any tropical garden, and is one of the few fan palms that really does well indoors. In cultivation, there are many plants labeled C. albida that are in fact C. warscewiczii.
