This fan palm is a stranger in the Trachycarpus family, as it has large, flat leaves divided into about 40 segments in groups of two - sometimes three. This gives this plant a unique appearance! In addition, the leaves are very thick and leathery and display a deep, glossy dark green above and a stunning waxy white below. 

The Trachycarpus geminisectus originates from North Vietnam and South China close to the border of Laos and Vietnam.
