Phoenix loureiroi , commonly known as the Mountain Date Palm or Dwarf Date Palm, is a slow-growing, ornamental palm species known for its distinctive, stocky trunk and spiny, plumose leaves. Native to the subtropical and tropical regions of Asia, this palm species is often underrepresented in the horticultural market, despite its striking appearance. Phoenix loureiroi is characterized by a squat, gnarled trunk and a relatively compact stature, making it an ideal addition for certain garden settings or botanical collections.

The palm’s name is often misspelled due to its complex spelling, but it remains a beloved species among palm enthusiasts for its unique aesthetic and hardiness. It is sometimes confused with other Phoenix species, but Phoenix loureiroi can be distinguished by its specific characteristics, such as its spiny leaf bases and dioecious reproduction.
