An Australian palm tree with feathery fronds and a tall trunk, also called the bungalow palm or Archontophoenix cunninghamiana.
From Aboriginal Australian languages, altered through colonial usage. The name is thought to derive from the Bangalow region in New South Wales, or from Aboriginal words for palm trees.
The bangalow palm was so common in the rainforests of Queensland that early European settlers thought they could clear them forever—today they're endangered, showing how common doesn't mean inexhaustible.
