Palm Collection
Founded in 1986, the Palm Collection is located to the south of Fairy Lake and is one of
the earliest themed gardens near the center of the Garden. Up to 170 species in 60 genera of palms are
represented in the collection, mainly from tropical Asia, South America, Oceania, Africa and the Pacific
islands. Some of the striking representatives include Roystonea regia,
Archontophoenix alexandrae, Chrysalidocarpus lutescens, Livistona chinensis,
Areca triandra; Hyophorbe lagenicaulis, Corypha umbraculifea,
Bismarckia nobilis, Cocos nucifera, Elaeis guineensis, and
Borassus flabellifer. A few Chinese endemic species, for example,
Chuniophoenix hainanensis are also preserved here.
