{"title":"Kentia \/ Howea forsteriana","description":"Howea forsteriana (Kentia palm or thatch palm) is a species of flowering plant in the palm family Arecaeae, endemic to Lord Howe Island in Australia.\u003cbr\u003e It is a relatively slow-growing palm, eventually growing up to 10 m tall by 6 m wide.
