Common Name:

Acrocomia totai was, for many years, considered a smaller version of Acrocomia aculeata, but now it seems to have established a separate identity as a true species. In appearance it is smaller than Acrocomia aculeata and has smaller crown of leaves as well, with possibly a somewhat spinier trunk, but otherwise most cannot tell these two apart (minor floral differences?).
