Types of Wodyetia

Foxtail palm

Foxtail palm (Wodyetia bifurcata) got its name because of its exceedingly fluffy leaves that are vaguely reminiscent of a fox’s tail. Since this is a tropical plant, it thrives best in humidity and full sunlight. The species remained undiscovered by non-indigenous people until 1978, when an aboriginal Australian brought it to notice.
