Ponytail palm 'Beaucarnea recurvata' houseplant This unique agave species isIntroducing the ponytail palm, known as Beaucarnea recurvata. Native to Southern Brazil, the ponytail palm is also known as the "elephant's foot palm or elephant foot tree" because of its enlarged lower trunk, which resembles an elephant's foot.

Its cascading, strap like leaves resemble a ponytail, adding to its unique and elegant appearance.
