	Kentia Palm (Howea forsteriana)
		HISTORY: The Kentia palm (Howea forsteriana) is one of the most beautiful palms in the world, and is suitable for growing either indoors or outdoors.
		These whalers, already replenishing their water supplies on the Island, formed the basis of a small but flourishing clientele and thus the population slowly grew to take advantage of the new enterprise.
		Seeds of Howea forsteriana were first collected in 1870 by eminent Victorian botanist Baron Ferdinand von Mueller who mistakenly placed the new species in the genus Kentia, a name which has stuck as a common name throughout the years.

		Howea forsterana (or thatch-leaf palm) is a slow-growing palm with a slender stem, ringed with old leaf scurs.
		The leaflets are spaced about 2 cms apart on the extension of the long leaf stalks that form the rib of the fronds and they are held horizontally.
		Howea belmoreana has a short stem, which thickens at the base as it ages.

	Howea increasingly popular
		Howea has only a share of 4% in this group, but its share in the turnover is 22.5%, which is due to the relatively high price of this product.
		Howea likes a light location, but too much mid-day sun will scorch the leaf points.
		Howea forsteriana (9358) is available year-round at the Dutch flower auctions.

	Howea belmoriana (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		Howea belmoriana is a close relative of the Howea forsterana, and like that palm is native only to Lord Howe Island, an isolated speck of land some 200 miles off the coast of New South Wales, Australia.
		The ‘belmor’, as it is commonly called, is an attractive palm very similar to H. forsterana, with the main distinction being that the pinnae on the fronds arch deeply up and out from the stem.
		Strangely enough, it is easier to tell the species apart when they’re youg than as they mature, though a trained eye can always see the difference.

		Just about every show on TV or movie has a Howea in the background of some room somewhere if you start looking for them.
		They have a hightly ornamental green irregularly ringed trunk and a wide 'foot' at the bottom, pendulous dark, green leaflets and are fairly fast growing (for palms).
		This is a bit of a challenge in the summer as we get occasional heat waves in the 90s which will burn the leaflets directly facing the sun but the palms flourish despite this anoyance and put out some of the prettiest leaves during the winter.
