Chamaedorea is a genus of 107 species of palms, native to subtropical and tropical regions of the Americas.[1][2]

They are small palms, growing to 0.3–6 m tall with slender, cane-like stems, growing in the understory in rainforests, and often spreading by means of underground runners, forming clonal colonies. The leaves are pinnate (rarely entire), with one to numerous leaflets. The flowers are produced in inflorescences; they are dioecious, with male and female flowers on separate plants. The fruit is an orange or red drupe 0.5–2 cm diameter.[2] Perhaps the best-known species is Chamaedorea elegans (Neanthe Bella Palm or Parlour Palm) from Mexico and Guatemala, popular as a houseplant, particularly in the Victorian era houses. Another well-known species is Chamaedorea seifrizii, the Bamboo Palm or Reed Palm.
