Trachycarpus martianus (also known as Martius' fan palm) is a tree in the family Arecaceae.
Other populations have been reported in Assam, Sikkim, Burma and southern China.
[1][2] The main identifying characteristics are the regular leaf splits (to about halfway), the coffee bean shaped seeds (similar looking to Trachycarpus latisectus) and the bare, as opposed to fibrous trunk.
[3][4][5] The species is named after the German botanist Carl Friedrich Philipp von Martius (1794-1868).
[6] It is used in making Jhapi, a traditional head cover often used to felicitate guests in Assam.
