Wodyetia bifurcata, commonly known as the Foxtail Palm, is an iconic monotypic species within the Arecaceae family, native to the remote regions of northern Queensland, Australia. First described in the late 20th century, it has rapidly gained international recognition as a highly desirable ornamental palm due to its uniquely plumose fronds, resilience to environmental stress, and adaptability to diverse climatic conditions. This review article offers a comprehensive synthesis of current knowledge on the species, encompassing its taxonomy, morphology, ecological niche, and reproductive biology. Particular emphasis is placed on its propagation techniques, including both conventional seed-based methods and emerging biotechnological approaches such as micropropagation and tissue culture.Furthermore, the review explores physiological responses of W. bifurcata to environmental factors like drought, salinity, and nutrient imbalances, providing insight into its horticultural potential under changing climate conditions. The susceptibility of this species to pests and pathogens, including Ganoderma butt rot and scale infestations, is analyzed alongside integrated pest management strategies. Conservation efforts for its limited wild populations are critically assessed, highlighting both in situ and ex situ initiatives aimed at preserving genetic diversity. The palm’s role in urban landscaping, cultural symbolism, and global economic importance is also discussed. Finally, the review identifies key gaps in existing research, suggesting future directions in genomics, stress physiology, and sustainable cultivation.By integrating multidisciplinary findings, this review seeks to serve as a foundational resource for botanists, horticulturists, conservationists, and landscape professionals interested in Wodyetia bifurcata and its multifaceted significance.
