{"url":"https://treescape.app/api/genera/trachycarpus/?format=json","slug":"trachycarpus","latin_name":"Trachycarpus","description":"Trachycarpus is a genus of eleven species of palms native to Asia, from the Himalaya east to eastern China. They are fan palms (subfamily Coryphoideae), with the leaves with a bare petiole terminating in a rounded fan of numerous leaflets. The leaf bases produce persistent fibres that often give the trunk a characteristic hairy appearance. All species are dioecious, with male and female flowers produced on separate plants although female plants will sometimes produce male flowers, allowing occasional self-pollination.","gbif_id":2739070,"image_thumbnail":"https://treescape.app/media/plant_species/images/thumbnails/trachycarpus_thumbnail_W1mrMHr.jpg","image_large":"https://treescape.app/media/plant_species/images/large/trachycarpus_thumbnail_MrDuvm3.jpg"}
