==Habitat and Distribution==
''Brahea armata'' is found in Baja California oases, and northwestern Mexico.[[Image:Workpix_008.jpg|thumb|left|500px|SoCal - Photo: Bill Sanford.]]
==Description==
Height: up to 50 feet tall (15 m) or more. It has a stout trunk. Its distinctly bluish leaves are 1-2 meters wide, with meter-long petioles. The leaves are persistent in nature, forming a shag around the trunk; in cultivation they are typically burned or cut off. The inflorescences extend out beyond the crown, reaching 5 meters in length. The flowers themselves are small, appearing in February and March, while the fruits are 18-24 mm in length, brown and with a generally ovoid to globose shape. This species is the most widespread endemic palm of the northern peninsula; it is locally common in arroyos and canyon bottoms, and has been observed growing in rock crevices at higher elevations. It is sometimes found with Washingtonia filifera or Washingtonia robusta

B. armata has an attractive appearance, especially when young, and is commonly available at nurseries in the American southwest. It is drought tolerant (although occasional deep irrigation is recommended), can handle both partial shade and full sun, and temperatures down to -10 degrees C. Will take minumum temperatures down to 10°F (-12°C). Germination: erratic, 1 to 12 months. Several years old seed will grow. Leaf type: Costapalmate, Glaucous blue grey. Stiff, 25-30 leaves per crown, divided in 40 to 60 leaflets. Petiole extends to more than half of the central leafblade., 8-9 feet wide (2.4 to 2.7 m). non-divided, slightly armed with dark thorns, wooly wax cover. Trunk: Gray, smooth with leaf scars, or occasionally, persistant dead leaves, slightly swollen at the base, Up to 18 inches (45 cm). Flower: Monoecious. Flower stalk coming from between the leaves, from the crown, very long spadix, and flower, (up to 15 feet - 4.5 m). Fruit: brown. 0.8 inch. round edible. Seed: round. Editing by edric.
==Culture==
Requirements: Water sparingly, fast draining soil, full sun.

==Habitat and Distribution==
''Chamaerops humilis'' is found in Algeria, Baleares, France, Italy, Libya, Morocco, [[image:ChIMG_4580.jpg|thumb|left|500px|At Len's place. Vista, CA. Photo by Troy Donovan]]Portugal, Sardegna, Sicilia, Spain, and Tunisia.
Native to the western Mediterranean region. There are two varieties:
*'''''Chamaerops humilis'' var. ''humilis'''''. Southwestern Europe, including Portugal, Spain, southernmost France, and western Italy, plus various western Mediterranean islands, always at fairly low altitudes. The northernmost naturally occurring palm in the world, at 43° 07' N at Hyères-les-Palmiers on the south coast of France.
*'''''Chamaerops humilis'' var. ''argentea''''' (syn. ''Chamaerops humilis'' var. ''cerifera''). Northwestern Africa, in the Atlas Mountains of Morocco at up to 2,000 m altitude.
More information on ''Chamaerops var. cerifera'' [http://www.palmpedia.net/palmsforcal/index.php5/Chamaerop_humilis_var._argentea HERE]
==Description==
''Chamaerops humilis'' is the only species in the genus ''Chamaerops''; the genus is closely related to the Asian genus ''[[:Category:TRACHYCARPUS|Trachycarpus]]'', differing in the spined (not smooth) petioles and the multistemmed clustering habit.

It is a small clustering palm, growing to a height of 1-4 metres, rarely to 6 metres. The leaves are palmately compound, 1-1.5 m long, with 10-20 fingered leaflets 50-80 cm long arranged in a fan at the end of the heavily armed 30-70 cm petiole. In ''C. humilis'' var. ''humilis'' the leaves are green, while in ''C. humilis'' var. ''argentea'' they are strongly glaucous a silvery-blue waxy coating, similar in colour to ''[[Brahea armata]]'' leaves.
==Culture==
Although the northernmost naturally occurring palm in the world, ''Chamaerops humilis'' var. ''humilis'' is not as cold hardy as the high altitude Chinese [[Trachycarpus fortunei]], tolerating temperatures only down to about -15°C. Because of its multistemmed clumping nature, it is however more likely to grow back if frozen to the ground. ''C. humilis'' var. ''argentea'', coming from higher altitudes but further south, is about equally hardy; it grows somewhat slower.

The species grows best in Mediterranean climates like Italy, southern California, Chile, Western Australia and Cape Town, South Africa. Cool winters, with plenty of rain (or, not) and hot, dry summers are the best home for this species. It will take severe drought, but is happiest with regular, if infrequent water.

''C. humilis'' var. ''humilis'' tolerates high humidity, but may not look its best in moist climates. As plants get very old, the various stems can be cut back, or cut down from a freeze, and grow back from the base. It is hardy in the milder parts of Great Britain, but not nearly as commonly grown as the more reliable ''Trachycarpus fortunei''.

''C. humilis'' var. ''argentea'' is slower growing, and is prone to crown rot from overhead watering, far more than var. ''humilis''. It is probably more drought and heat tolerant, though. Although cold-hardy in Great Britain, the wet climate leads to poor success in cultivation, unless it is given exceptionally good drainage and some shelter from prolonged rain.

==Comments and Curiosities==
This is a [[monotypic]] genus.

There are two subspecies; Chamaerops humilis var. argentea, Morocco. Chamaerops humilis var. humilis, Algeria, Baleares, France, Italy, Libya, Morocco, Portugal, Sardegna, Sicilia, Spain, and Tunisia.

In popular literature, ''C. humilis'' var. ''argentea'' has often been listed under the name ''C. humilis'' var. ''cerifera''. This name is however a later publication (1920, versus 1885; [http://apps.kew.org/wcsp/qsearch.do?plantName=Chamaerops&page=quickSearch Kew Palms Checklist]) so is not the valid name for the variety.

==Habitat and Distribution==
''Copernicia hospita'' is found in Cuba in open savannas, woodlands, and in coastal regions, [[image:6b4d57z.jpg|thumb|left|500px|Nong Nooch, Thailand. Photo by Geoff Stein.]]adjacent to mangrove swamps.
==Description==
The circular blue gray waxy leaves of the Cuban wax palm, spread out like fans on long, thin, stems (petioles). Up to 40 leaves form a very characteristic circular outline, around the top of the trunk. The smooth columnar trunk can grow up to 1 ft (0.3 m) in diameter, and up to 26 ft (7.9 m) tall. Dainty brown flowers extend, past the leaves on uniquely hairy branches. This species of Copernicia is monoecious, flowers are bisexual. The fruits resemble black marbles, up to 1 in (2.5 m) across. Editing by edric.
==Culture==
Light: The Cuban wax palm thrives in full sun.
Moisture: The Cuban Wax Palm is highly tolerant of drought, but thrives in moist soil with excellent drainage.
Hardiness: USDA Zones 10 - 11. Mature and established plants can tolerate temperatures down to 26ºF (-3.3ºC)
Propagation: Germinate in 4 to 12 weeks.
==Comments and Curiosities==
The Cuban wax palm belongs to the genus of palms considered by many to be the most spectacular of American palmate palms. In profile, the Cuban wax palm is quite striking, with the outline of the leaves forming a great circular arc around the top of the trunk. This palm is considered quite a prize outside of Cuba and is now available from some nurseries and palm seed providers. The Cuban wax palm thrives in full sun locations in tropical settings, like southern Florida. In its native Cuba, the hard and durable stems of the Cuban wax palm are used extensively for fence posts and its leaves are woven into hats, panniers (load-carriers) and baskets.

A medium-sized palm, native to savannas and dry woodland in Cuba. It has a short and relatively slender trunk and a spreading crown of stiff, circular fan leaves with a most desirable, waxy-white color. Like all Cuban Copernicia, it is relatively slow growing and prefers full sun even as a seedling. A dry tropical or subtropical climate suits it best. (RPS.com)

Etymology: This genus of plants was named after the astronomer Nicolaus Copernicus (1473-1543). The specific part of the name, hospita, is from the Latin, meaning hospitable, believed to refer to the palm being a hospitable welcome home, to a wide variety of birds.

==Habitat and Distribution==
''Butia yatay'' is found in Argentina Northeast, Brazil South, and Uruguay. [[image:3824940595_f966581955.jpg|thumb|left|500px|Brazil. Photo by Dr. Kelen Soares.]]Native to northeastern Argentina in the provinces of Misiones, Santa Fe, Corrientes, and Entre Rios, forming great forests in sandy areas; and to Uruguay in the departments of Paysandli and Rio Negro, in sandy soils. (S.F. Glassman. 1979)/Palmweb.
==Description==
Trunk type: Solitary, often reaching, 20 inches in diameter, or 40 cm. Leaf bases remain on trunk, for a considerable length of time. Hight: Near 40 Ft., or 12 meters. Spread: Up to 12 Ft., or 4 meters. Leaf detail: Pinnately compound, recurving, grayish, to grayish blue, they can be up to 6 ft. (1.80-2 m.) long, with a leaf stem of about 2 ft. (60 cm.). Petiole armed. Flower: Typical of Butia, with yellow inflorescences. Fruits are orange, and not edible, and are about 1.5 in. (3.5-4 cm.) in diameter.

Butia yatay is easily distinguished from other arborescent species of Butia by the relatively large pistillate flowers (10-16 mm vs. 3-8 mm long). Its geographic range apparently does not overlap with that of B. capitata, B. eriospatha, or B. purpurascens. However, B. yatay is sympatric with B. paraguayensis in at least part of its range (in Corrientes and probably Misiones) and may be confused with the latter species during its immature, acaulescent stage of growth. Crovetto and Piccinini (1951) did an ecological study of 13 different stands (palmares) of Butia yatay in northern Argentina (provinces of Entre Rios, Corrientes, and Santa Fe). At first, they believed that these palmares represented a stage in the psammosere succession because the plants grew in sandy soil. After intensive studies, however, they concluded that the Butia yatay community was not involved in the formation of the regular climax of the region, but was independent of the typical succession of that area. Hence, these palmares were interpreted as being a relict climax, or an ancient vegetation type left over from a previous geological period when climate conditions were perhaps different than they are today.

==Culture==
Min. temps. 10 to 14 degrees F. B. yatay tolerates low temperatures well and can take frost to -10 º C. It prefers organic-sandy soils but may grow on limestone and clay, provided they are deep and well drained. (Jose A. Grassia)

Seeds of this variety, often take up to ten months to germinate.

Native to Southern Brazil, Uruguay and Argentina, this palm is thought to be the most graceful of the genus, reaching over 10m in height in the wild, and forming huge stands of trees, numbering millions. With good hardiness to cold, many palms have been imported to Northern Europe in recent years. (butia.nl)

Leaves: 1.5- 2.5 m long, with approximately 140 leaflets. Petioles are relatively slender, with bumps on the margins, turning into curved, sharp, about 2 cm long gray spines in the highest part of the petiole, transforming to fibers at the broad leaf bases . Such fibers form a sort of brown and rough burlap between the leaf bases. The petiole is adaxially flat at the base and becomes keel-like up the rachis. (Jose A. Grassia)

Fruit: ovate, pointed, 5 x 2.5 cm, yellow-orange when ripe, with a thick mesocarp and protected at the base by bracts and a sort of spike on the end. Fruits are edible and often used in jelly and liqueur. One thin, elongated seed per fruit, which may sprout in 90-180 days. It is common to find seeds with more than one embryo. (Jose A. Grassia)

Distribution: It occurs naturally in both coasts of the Uruguay River in Argentina and the Republic of Uruguay. The highest concentrations of these palms occur between 30º and 33° S, especially in northeastern Argentina, at “Palmar de Colón” in the province of Entre Rios and the “Palmares de Quebracho, Chapicuy, Porrua and Mujica in the Republic of Uruguay. Note that in Spanish, a forest made up mostly of palm trees is called “palmar”. (Jose A. Grassia)

“Palmar de Colón” is considered the largest concentration of natural monospecific palms of the Americas, covering a strip of land that borders the Uruguay River with a width of approximately 10-25 km and a length of 100 km, totalling an area of about 100,000 hectares, which means about 30 million specimens of B. yatay. (Jose A. Grassia)

At present, farming, repeated burning of grasslands, invasion by exotic flora, the action of herbivores and trampling by livestock, have drastically reduced the number of palms. Only 8500 hectares are protected within a National Park, with an approximately 250 years old population of nearly 2 million specimens of Butia yatay. (Jose A. Grassia)

The effects of radiation and seed dispersal have extended the original boundaries of this natural habitat of B. yatay, so that, nowadays, specimens of this species can be found throughout the provinces of Entre Ríos, Corrientes, east of Santa Fe along the Parana River and south of Misiones, all these territories in Argentina. (Jose A. Grassia)

Meanwhile, in the Republic of Uruguay, Butia yatay has a natural habitat on the east coast of the Uruguay River in the County of Salto and Paysandú, although the population density is much lower than on the western bank of that river.Butia yatay can also be found in the south of the State of Rio Grande do Sul, in Brazil, but in isolated populations and a low number of specimens. (Jose A. Grassia)

==Habitat and Distribution==
''Butia yatay'' is found in Argentina Northeast, Brazil South, and Uruguay. [[image:3824940595_f966581955.jpg|thumb|left|500px|Brazil. Photo by Dr. Kelen Soares.]]Native to northeastern Argentina in the provinces of Misiones, Santa Fe, Corrientes, and Entre Rios, forming great forests in sandy areas; and to Uruguay in the departments of Paysandli and Rio Negro, in sandy soils. (S.F. Glassman. 1979)/Palmweb.
==Description==
Trunk type: Solitary, often reaching, 20 inches in diameter, or 40 cm. Leaf bases remain on trunk, for a considerable length of time. Hight: Near 40 Ft., or 12 meters. Spread: Up to 12 Ft., or 4 meters. Leaf detail: Pinnately compound, recurving, grayish, to grayish blue, they can be up to 6 ft. (1.80-2 m.) long, with a leaf stem of about 2 ft. (60 cm.). Petiole armed. Flower: Typical of Butia, with yellow inflorescences. Fruits are orange, and not edible, and are about 1.5 in. (3.5-4 cm.) in diameter.

Butia yatay is easily distinguished from other arborescent species of Butia by the relatively large pistillate flowers (10-16 mm vs. 3-8 mm long). Its geographic range apparently does not overlap with that of B. capitata, B. eriospatha, or B. purpurascens.

''Copernicia curtissii'' is endemic to Cuba, [[File:2015-04-23 059.jpg|thumb|left|450px|Fairchild Botanical Gardens, FL. Photo by Leu Gardens Botanist Eric S.]]Found in savannas.
==Description==
It grows as a solitary or clustering palm, and there is a silver form (from inland savannah areas) and a green form (coastal regions). It is native in the western part of Pinar del Rio, Villa Clara Province, and the Isle of Youth, in Cuba. Medium sized, costapalmate fan palm. Editing by edric.
==Culture==

==Comments and Curiosities==
"I have grown this palm before too but sold it long ago. I see some in a garden down here near Homestead that have flowered profusely this year. I was "sure" they were not what the owner called them... "green hospita"... but I could not get a name to match it. Now I think I might call them curtissii. They have relatively fat trunks but the owner fertilizes heavily so that explains that. I have seen seasons where a species (all of them in town) blooms profusely." (Ken Johnson, Miami, FL)

==Habitat and Distribution==
''Copernicia curtissii'' is endemic to Cuba, [[File:2015-04-23 059.jpg|thumb|left|450px|Fairchild Botanical Gardens, FL. Photo by Leu Gardens Botanist Eric S.]]Found in savannas.
==Description==
It grows as a solitary or clustering palm, and there is a silver form (from inland savannah areas) and a green form (coastal regions). It is native in the western part of Pinar del Rio, Cuba and the Isle of Youth. Medium sized, costapalmate fan palm. Editing by edric.
==Culture==

==Comments and Curiosities==
"I have grown this palm before too but sold it long ago. I see some in a garden down here near Homestead that have flowered profusely this year. I was "sure" they were not what the owner called them... "green hospita"... but I could not get a name to match it. Now I think I might call them curtissii. They have relatively fat trunks but the owner fertilizes heavily so that explains that. I have seen seasons where a species (all of them in town) blooms profusely." (Ken Johnson, Miami, FL)

==Habitat and Distribution==
''Copernicia hospita'' is found in Cuba in open savannas, woodlands, and in coastal regions, [[image:6b4d57z.jpg|thumb|left|500px|Nong Nooch, Thailand. Photo by Geoff Stein.]]adjacent to mangrove swamps.
==Description==
The circular blue gray waxy leaves of the Cuban wax palm, spread out like fans on long, thin, stems (petioles). Up to 40 leaves form a very characteristic circular outline, around the top of the trunk. The smooth columnar trunk can grow up to 1 ft (0.3 m) in diameter, and up to 26 ft (7.9 m) tall. Dainty brown flowers extend, past the leaves on uniquely hairy branches. This species of Copernicia is monoecious, flowers are bisexual. The fruits resemble black marbles, up to 1 in (2.5 m) across. Editing by edric.
==Culture==
Light: The Cuban wax palm thrives in full sun.
Moisture: The Cuban Wax Palm is highly tolerant of drought, but thrives in moist soil with excellent drainage.
Hardiness: USDA Zones 10 - 11. Mature and established plants can tolerate temperatures down to 26ºF (-3.3ºC)
Propagation: Germinate in 4 to 12 weeks.
==Comments and Curiosities==
The Cuban wax palm belongs to the genus of palms considered by many to be the most spectacular of American palmate palms. In profile, the Cuban wax palm is quite striking, with the outline of the leaves forming a great circular arc around the top of the trunk. This palm is considered quite a prize outside of Cuba and is now available from some nurseries and palm seed providers. The Cuban wax palm thrives in full sun locations in tropical settings, like southern Florida. In its native Cuba, the hard and durable stems of the Cuban wax palm are used extensively for fence posts and its leaves are woven into hats, panniers (load-carriers) and baskets.

A medium-sized palm, native to savannas and dry woodland in Cuba. It has a short and relatively slender trunk and a spreading crown of stiff, circular fan leaves with a most desirable, waxy-white color. Like all Cuban Copernicia, it is relatively slow growing and prefers full sun even as a seedling. A dry tropical or subtropical climate suits it best. (RPS.com)

Etymology: This genus of plants was named after the astronomer Nicolaus Copernicus (1473-1543). The specific part of the name, hospita, is from the Latin, meaning hospitable, believed to refer to the palm being a hospitable welcome home, to a wide variety of birds.

==Habitat and Distribution==
''Coccothrinax miraguama'' is found on hills and in savannahs around Cuba. Although [[image:Cme00.jpg|thumb|left|400px|Cuba. Photo by Jason Schoneman]]limited to Cuba, this species is widespread on the island, with multiple named variants favoring different habitats: savannas, open woods, coastal sites.
==Description==
Trunk type: Solitary. Hight: To 30 feet, (9 meters), crown to 12 feet in diameter, covered with old leaf bases and fibers. After a while, the trunk becomes bare and grey. Leaf detail: Palmately compound, 20 to 30 almost circular leaves, silvery lower surface, 40 to 60 segments, up to 5 feet wide (1.5 m). unarmed.

Recognition: Single-trunked, palmate-leaved, small palm having the trunk covered with woven (appearing like weathered burlap), dark-colored fibers (vs. shaggy, usually near-white, and beardlike in C. crinita). The leaves are circular in outline, particularly stiff, deeply cut, and have the leaflets wide (2”) and widely spaced, failing to lie flat, overlapping each other irregularly, and hairy beneath. The fruits pass from red to deep purple-black.

Flower: Cream bisexual flowers. Flower stalk coming from among the leaves, 3 feet long (90 cm). Fruit: red when ripening turning dark red to black when ripe. 0.5 inch in diameter. round.
==Culture==
Requirements: Full sun, fair to moderate water, well drained position. Hardiness, USDA zones 10a-11. Slow rate of growth.

==Comments and Curiosities==
There are four subspecies: Coccothrinax miraguama subsp. arenicola, Coccothrinax miraguama subsp. havanensis, Coccothrinax miraguama subsp. miraguama, and Coccothrinax miraguama subsp. roseocarpa.

A highly desirable species, native to open woodlands, savannas and coastal areas on Cuba. It forms a thin, solitary trunk, clothed in its upper part in coarse leafsheath fibers and supports a small crown of beautiful, very rigid, circular leaves that are green above and silvery white below. It is best suited for the drier tropics and can withstand a light freeze and some coastal exposure. (RPS.com)
