There is one species called Chamaerops humilis (European fan palm, Mediterranean dwarf palm or dwarf fan palm).[1] It is the only palm species native to continental Europe. It is found in coastal areas of southern France, Morocco and Italy. It is a shrub-like clumping palm, with several stems growing from a single base. The stems grow slowly and often tightly together, eventually reaching 2–5 m tall.
