Arenga micrantha
Tibetan sugar palm is a clustering, multi-stemmed palm from the eastern Himalaya that grows at unusually high elevations and tolerates frost better than most of its genus. It is grown mainly in cool subtropical gardens and conservatories rather than as a typical houseplant.
Arenga micrantha, also known as the Tibetan sugar palm, is a species of flowering plant in the family Arecaceae, found in the cloud forests of southeastern Tibet, Bhutan, and Arunachal Pradesh in northeastern India. Its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests, between 1400 and 2150 m. It is threatened by habitat loss.
