Butia Yatay
''Butia yatay'', the jelly palm or yatay palm, is a ''Butia'' palm native to southern Brazil, Uruguay and northern Argentina. It is known as the ''butiá-jataí'' in Portuguese in the south of Brazil, as well as simply ''jataí'' or ''butiá''. It is sometimes cultivated as an ornamental in Europe and the United States. It is the tallest of all the species in the genus ''Butia''. The fruit is edible with a sweet flavour. Etymology This is one of only a few plants in which the scientific name is completely derived from Native American languages. ''Butia'' is from a local Brazilian vernacular name likely derived from Old Tupi ''ᵐba atí'', meaning 'thorny thing', which probably refers to the spines along the petiole margins of most species. The specific epithet ''yatay'' is adopted from the Guaraní language word for such palms, ''yata'i'', which itself refers to the small, hard fruit. Taxonomy In 1970 Sidney Fredrick Glassman moved this species, along with all other ''Butia'', t ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
