Radifolia implicitus, commonly known as the Cluster Palm, Common Tangle Palm or Quecherita. Abundant in mesic lowlands and fire-suppressed hillsides across low and medium elevations, this species is common across much of the Marindinoan Crescent. Because of its thick, tangling rhizomes and relatively quick-growing nature, it is often planted as a form of cheap hedgerow in rural areas.
