Comments:
This palm, as the name implies, is endemic to Bermuda. It is a fan palm with huge leaves with smooth petioles. Yellowish-white flowers are produced in large panicles and extend beyond the foliage. Following this palm produces brown to black fruit, each containing a single seed. Makes an excellent specimen palm.
