fan palm
Paddle-leaved tropical
A fan palm is any palm tree with fan-shaped leaves that radiate from a central point, rather than the feathery fronds of other palms.
The distinctive leaves spread like an open hand or paper fan.
Common varieties include the palmetto and the California fan palm.
Fan palms lined the boulevard.
