Palm Journal Entry

Palm trees are of course known for coconuts, but, they are also known for their fan shaped leaves. Because of this adaptation, wind and rain can easily pass through. Since they are usually found in tropical areas, they were forced to adapt to strong winds caused by tropical storms. There is less air resistance between the strong winds and the leaves, and so it is harder for Palms to be blown over.

Usually, Palms have a thick trunk, however this Palm is a bush. Similar to the rest of these shrubberies, being closer to the ground, while also being relatively small plants, makes it easier for these bushes to supply all of their leaves with enough water. Being closer to the ground also allows these plants to experience less wind resistance. The leaves of all of these plants are of course green, due to the fact that they all evolved to use other wavelengths of light, not including green light, which makes photosynthesis possible.

This plant belongs to Arecoideae which is a bush subfamily of Palms. Arecoideae is the largest and most diverse subfamily out of the five other subfamilies of Arecaceae (Palm trees). More than 50% of Arecaceae belong to the Arecoideae subfamily.
