Its rosette of stiff, grey-green feather leaves rises straight from the ground, making it a hardy ground-level palm rarely exceeding a metre or two in height. It is grown as a rugged ornamental and rockery palm, and in the wild its small orange-red fruits are eaten and its leaves used for matting and brooms.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eExtremely tolerant of heat, poor stony soils and seasonal drought, it occurs naturally across the sub-Himalayan tract and central Indian plateaus, often surviving grassland fires by resprouting from its underground stem.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFamily: Arecaceae (palm family)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNative region: Sub-Himalayan and central India\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMature height: 1-2 m (nearly trunkless)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGrowth rate: Slow\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eSoak the cleaned seeds in warm water for 2-3 days, changing the water daily, to soften the coat.
