Chamaedorea seifrizii is a species of palm referred to as bamboo palm, parlor palm, or reed palm. It is a subtropical palm that grows up to 20 feet tall, and is commonly used as a houseplant.[3] The evergreen leaves are pinnately divided, and yellow flowers are borne on a panicle.[4] The fruit are small, round, and black.[5]

Native to Mexico and Central America, it grows in disturbed forest habitats and in mesic soils over limestone.[5] The species has been introduced to Florida where it is grown as a hedge plant.[6] It has been found to escape cultivation.[7]

The species is named for botanist William Seifriz.[6]
