Phoenix theophrasti, the Cretan date palm, is a palm native to the eastern Mediterranean, in Greece and Turkey. It, along with Chamaerops humilis (the European fan palm) are the only native palm species in the Mediterranean basin; areas forested with these species constitute Europe's only palm forests.[2] Similarly in Turkey, it is the only native palm species; all other species—although much more common—are introduced.[3]
