Chamaedorea
 Chamaedorea (from Ancient Greek χαμαί (chamai) meaning on the ground and δωρεά (dorea) meaning gift in reference to easily-reached fruits or the plants' low-growing nature) is a genus of 107 species of palms native to subtropical and tropical regions of the Americas. They are small palms growing to 0.3–6 m (1 ft 0 in–19 ft 8 in) tall with slender cane-like stems growing in the understory in rainforests and often spreading by means of underground runners forming clonal colonies.
