What is another word for Genus Rhapis?
Pronunciation: [d͡ʒˈɛnəs ɹˈapiz] (IPA) 
The term Genus Rhapis refers to a group of fan palms that are common in Asia, particularly in China and Japan. Synonyms for the genus Rhapis include Lady Palm and Bamboo Palm. These alternate names are due to the palm's resemblance to bamboo and the fact that it was once considered a plant suited only for women (hence the reference to "Lady"). The Genus Rhapis is famous for its multiple stems, which are thin and slender, covered in brown fibers. The clusters of leaves at the top of the stems are glossy, dark green, and fan-shaped, adding to its appeal as an ornamental plant. Its size and ease of care make them a popular choice for both indoor and outdoor landscaping.
