Butia
''Butia'' is a genus of palms in the family Arecaceae, native to the South American countries of Brazil, Paraguay, Uruguay and Argentina. Many species produce edible fruits, which are sometimes used to make alcoholic beverages and other foods. The name is derived from a Brazilian vernacular word for members of the genus. Description These are 'feather palms', having pinnate leaves up to 3m long including petiole which usually have a distinct downward arch. The species vary from nearly stemless plants rarely exceeding 40 cm tall (e.g. ''Butia campicola'') to small trees up to 12m tall (e.g. '' B. yatay''). ''Butia odorata'' is notable as one of the hardiest feather palms, tolerating temperatures down to about −10 °C; it is widely cultivated in warm temperate to subtropical regions. Species Accepted species: No longer accepted species: * '' Butia missionera'' Deble & Marchiori - Rio Grande do Sul * '' Butia noblickii'' Deble - Corrientes Province of Argentin ...

Butia Odorata
''Butia odorata'', also known as the South American jelly palm, jelly palm, or pindo palm, is a ''Butia'' palm native to southernmost Brazil and Uruguay. This slow-growing palm grows up to 10m, although it is often less tall. It is identifiable by its feather palm pinnate leaves that arch inwards towards a thick stout trunk. Nomenclature These palms are often called ''Butia capitata'' in horticulture. It was seen as a synonym of that more tropical species until 2011, and many botanical gardens, collectors, and those in the nursery trade have not yet changed their labelling. Even more confusingly; plants with the invented name ''B. capitata'' var. ''odorata'' have circulated in the horticultural trade which were actually the in 2010 newly named ''B. catarinensis'', from further north along the Brazilian coast. In Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil, local vernacular names for this plant in Portuguese are ''butiá-da-praia'', or just ''butiá''. Etymology The specific epithet ''odorata'' ...

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] |
Butia Eriospatha
''Butia eriospatha'' is a small species of ''Butia'' palm endemic to the highlands of southern Brazil. It is very similar to ''B. odorata'', but is easily distinguished from this species by the distinct spathes which are densely covered in rust-coloured, woolly hairs. Indeed, the specific epithet is derived from Greek ''ἔριον'', wool, and Latin ''spatha'', which refers to the spathe. It has been given the name woolly jelly palm (UK) or wooly jelly palm (US) in English. Vernacular names for it where it is native are ''butiá-da-serra'', ''butiázeiro'', ''butiá-veludo'', ''butiá'' ''butiá verdadeiro'', ''butiá-do-campo'', ''yatáy'' and ''macumá''. Taxonomy In 1970 Sidney Fredrick Glassman moved this species, along with all other ''Butia'', to '' Syagrus'', but in 1979 he changed his mind and moved everything back. Description ''Butia eriospatha'' is a solitary-trunked palm tree. The trunk is sometimes inclined to a side, and may occasionally be subterranean. The 20-2 ...

Butia Campicola
''Butia campicola'' is a very small species of ''Butia'' palm with an underground trunk; native to the cerrados of central Paraguay and south-central Brazil. Etymology & common names The species epithet ''campicola'' is derived from its preferred habitat; the ''campos'', Portuguese for grassland. A local name for it in Paraguay in the Guaraní language was recorded as ''yataycapii''. This name should likely be spelled ''yata'i kapi'i'' and translates as 'forage/straw/grass ''Butia. A Portuguese name used in Brazil is ''butiazinho azul'' (='blue ''Butia''-diminutive'). Taxonomy & history It was first collected by the Swiss physician and botanist Émile Hassler in Paraguay in the Sierra de Mbaracayú between 1898 to 1899, and in Piribebuy in 1900, according to the labels on his herbarium specimens. It was formally described by João Barbosa Rodrigues in the 1900 published part of the Plantae Hasslerianae as ''Cocos campicola''. Subsequently it was never seen again. In 1996 ...

Butia Arenicola
''Butia arenicola'' is a very small species of ''Butia'' palm with an underground trunk; native to Paraguay and the state of Mato Grosso do Sul in Brazil. ''Boquierinho'' is recorded as a possible local vernacular name for it (if the specimen was correctly identified).Orrell T, Hollowell T (2018). NMNH Extant Specimen Records. Version 1.19.

Butia Archeri
''Butia archeri'' is a small species of ''Butia'' palm with a short trunk native to the states of Goiás, Brasília, Minas Gerais and São Paulo in Brazil. It has been given the common name dwarf jelly palm in English. Local common names which have been recorded for this species are ''coqueirinho-do-campo'', ''butiazinho'' and ''vassourinha''. Taxonomy Sidney Fredrick Glassman first described this species in 1967 from a specimen collected by William Andrew Archer (no. 4048) in Minas Gerais. Glassman named the new species after the collector. Initially he considered it a type of '' Syagrus'', because it had unarmed petioles. Among the many characters Odoardo Beccari used to distinguish the genus ''Butia'' from ''Syagrus'' in 1916, Glassman considered the most important to be the three seeds or locules in fruit, the presence of spines along the margins of the petiole, and the smooth rather than plicate spathes. Because Glassman had classified ''Butia archeri'' as a ''Syagrus'', a ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Butia Catarinensis
''Butia catarinensis'' is a mid-sized species of ''Butia'' palm native to the states of Rio Grande do Sul, Santa Catarina in Brazil. Etymology The specific epithet refers to the Brazilian state of Santa Catarina where it is the most distributed. Taxonomy & nomenclature These palms were only named as a new species in 2010, although the populations of this species were known. Before 2010 the palms growing in this region were classified as ''Butia capitata''. J. R. Mattos reclassified this population as ''B. capitata'' var. ''odorata'' in 1977 (see ''B. odorata''), As such, a number of palms under cultivation in botanical gardens, private collections or in the nursery trade under the name ''B. capitata'' or ''B. capitata'' var. ''odorata'' are in fact this species. Larry R. Noblick and Harri Lorenzi described ''B. catarinensis'', ''B. matogrossensis'' and ''B. pubispatha'' in 2010 in the ''Flora brasileira: Arecaceae (palmeiras)'' by Lorenzi ''et al.''

Hardy Palms
Hardy palms are any of the species of palm (Arecaceae) that are able to withstand ''brief'' periods of colder temperatures and even occasional snowfall. A few palms are native to higher elevations of south Asia where true winter conditions occur, while a few others are native to the warmer parts of the temperate zone in North America. A few of these temperate climate palms can tolerate hard freezes with little or no damage. Many of these "hardy " species can be cultivated in warmer parts of temperate climates. The cold hardiness of palms varies by species. The hardiest species are found in the tribe Trachycarpeae, ''Washingtonia,'' and ''Rhapis'', with species which are found in the wild in areas where the mean temperature of the coldest month of the year is not much less that , and ''Trachycarpus'', with species which are found in the wild in areas where the mean temperature of the coldest month of the year is as low as . Members of the above palms and other genera are sometime ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
