distribution_en:
description_en: Genus of 3 species of short-stemmed or stemless, palm-like perennials from woodland in tropical North and South America. The very long-stalked, rounded leaves are divided into several fan-like segments, each one deeply and narrowly lobed. Insignificant, fleshy, unisexual flowers are borne in cone-like spadices produced from the leaf axils in summer; they develop into showy red berries. In frost-prone climates, grow in a temperate or warm greenhouse, or plant outdoors in summer to lend a tropical effect to summer bedding. In tropical and subtropical regions, use in shady sites, especially beneath trees, where the handsome foliage may be displayed to best advantage. The large leaves are used to make panama hats.
hardiness_en: Frost tender.
