Habitat and Distribution
Coccothrinax clarensis, is a palm which is endemic to central and eastern Cuba. Coccothrinax clarensis comes from Santa Clara valley in Cuba where the species are found.
Description
A superb dwarf palm from eastern Cuba with small, stiff leaves with few, narrow segments that are finely tipped and silvery underneath and very neat, coarse, woody fibers enclosing the upper portion of the slender trunk. The "Field Guide to the Palms of the Americas" treated C. clarensis subsp. clarensis as a synonym of Coccothrinax gundlachii. (RPS.com), edric.
Culture
Full sun, moist, well drained soil.
Comments and Curiosities
Etymology: Its name suggests that it has small coconut-like fruit (Greek coccos: berry and thrinax: trident or winnowing fork).
There are two sub species, Coccothrinax clarensis subsp. brevifolia, and Coccothrinax clarensis subsp. clarensis. Editing by edric.
