Coccothrinax miraguama

This species of Coccothrinax claims 4 sub-species of varying degree of fiber thickness and leaf stiffness. With a trunk only 5 inches thick on average, this slender and ornate species is a striking ornamental. Its palmate leaves have silver undersides, and are relatively rigid, giving them a "starburst" appearance that makes it arguably the most attractive member of its genus. It will reach up to 60 feet in habitat (Cuba) but has been recorded only up to 30 feet OA in cultivation.
