A genus of small palm trees native to Central and South America, often grown indoors as ornamental plants.
From Greek 'geo-' (earth) and 'nomos' (law, distribution), referring to the earth-based distribution or habitat of these palms. Named in the 18th century by botanists studying palm classification.
These tiny palms are perfect houseplants for low-light rooms because they evolved in the dark understory of rainforests—they're literally adapted to thrive where sunlight struggles to reach the forest floor.
