Kentia Palm - Howea forsteriana.

Howea forsteriana is a species of flowering plant in the palm family Arecaeae, endemic to Lord Howe Island , 400 miles east of, and part of, New South wales, Australia. It is also widely grown on Norfolk Island. It is a relatively slow-growing palm, eventually growing up to 10 m (33 ft) tall by 6 m (20 ft) wide. Its fronds can reach 3 m (10 ft) long. The palm received the name "forsteriana" after the naturalist father and son duo who accompanied Captain Cook's second voyage to the Pacific, Johann Reinhold Forster and Georg Forster.
