Nannorrhops is a genus with a single species, the Mazari palm (Nannorrhops ritchiana), a hardy, shrub-like clumping fan palm from dry southwestern Asia. It is grown outdoors in warm, dry climates and needs very hot summers to grow well.
Nannorrhops ritchiana, the Mazari palm, is the sole species in the genus Nannorrhops in the palm family Arecaceae.
It is one of the hardier palms, tolerating winter frosts down to about −12 °C (10 °F) (possibly even −20 °C or −4 °F), though it requires very hot summers for good growth. It can be grown in USDA zones 6-11. It is occasionally grown as an ornamental plant in southern Europe and southern North America, but is not widely cultivated.
It is native to southwestern Asia, from the southeast of the Arabian Peninsula east through Iran and Afghanistan to Pakistan in the historical region of Balochistan, growing at altitudes of up to 1,600 m.
