Licuala spinosa - Spiny Licuala, Mangrove Licuala

That is a lovely palm love the shape of the leaves

Thanks! Yes, Licuala species are considered by many, one of the most ornamental and beautiful palms in the world.

I can see why reminds me of a chinese parasole.

It funny you say that...this palm is native to tropical rainforest of southeast Asia. :>)

Maybe the fronds on this palm inspired the Chinese parasol. :>)

Thanks!

Another worth a try up north in balmy Haywardland?

Licuala species are pretty hardy; however, they need good water. They hate the hard water here in San Diego. I do think they grow much better in the ground, though.
