Why PalmsHub?
Sourced, not invented
Curated species pages are written by hand and checked against POWO (Kew), the IUCN Red List and botanical-garden sources — all cited on the page.
Cite or omit
We never publish fabricated data or made-up figures. Where we are unsure, we say so or leave it out — see our editorial policy.
Live distribution maps
Every species page draws its occurrence map straight from GBIF, the global biodiversity database.
