Ponytail palm 'Beaucarnea recurvata' houseplant Introducing the Torch Cactus TrichocereusIntroducing 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. Within the agave family, the ponytail palm is a distinct plant that, despite its name, is not a true palm. Its cascading, strap like leaves resemble a ponytail, adding to its unique and elegant appearance.
