Lytocaryum x Syagrus

#1

Post by Geoff »

Lytocaryum weddelianum x Syagrus romanzoffiana aka Lytoagrus: This is rare hybrid between two closely related genera (at one time they were in the same genus). Some of the photos are of the first generation palms, but most are of F2 generation (palms with seeds made from Lytoagrus pollen and Syagrus palms).
