Allagoptera caudescens var. Bahia. There are two variations: one from Bahia, Brazil, height up to 8 m, and another in southern Brazil. The species name comes from the Latin = caudescens that has a tail, referring to long leaves that spread across the floor, most obvious fact in the second group. Corupá-SC. photo by Gilio Giacomozzi, edric.
