Wodyetia
Wodyetia is a genus with one species, the foxtail palm (Wodyetia bifurcata), a single-stemmed palm with a bushy crown of fronds, widely grown as an ornamental in warm climates. It needs warmth, good light and well-drained soil.
Wodyetia is a genus of the palm family Arecaceae, containing the single species Wodyetia bifurcata. The species, commonly known as foxtail palm, is native to a very small area of northeastern Queensland, Australia, but has been widely cultivated around the world.
This species is endemic to the Cape Melville range, within the Cape Melville National Park in Queensland Australia. The Park is extremely remote and difficult to access. It is about 475 km (295 mi) by road north of Cairns, the nearest major population centre, much of that distance is on very challenging unsealed roads.
