Wodyetia is a genus of the palm family Arecaceae, containing the single species Wodyetia bifurcata. The species, commonly known as foxtail palm, is native to a very small area of northeastern Queensland, Australia, but has been widely cultivated around the world.
==Description== The foxtail palm is a single-stemmed palm growing to a height of tall and up to diameter. The trunk is light grey, smooth (without spines), somewhat bottle- or spindle-shaped, and marked by annular leaf scars. There are about 6–10 fronds in the crown of a mature tree, and they grow to about in length with a petiole about long and a about long. The leaflets are divided into numerous segments (as many as 950), which are arranged radially around the midrib, giving the frond a 'bushy' appearance.
