Beaucarnea gloriosa

  Hi Martin, hope Davids gets this too (don't have his adress):

  Some (or all) Beaucarneas are also known as NOLINA. At least Nolina
recurvata was formerly known as Beaucarnea recurvata amongst
houseplant-lovers. This species is mostly sold as baby-plants with a bulb of
5 cm or so, but I think it can grow a few meters wide.

  Bye, Marco
