Cocoeae
Cocoseae is a tribe of cocosoid palms of the family Arecaceae. Description The fruit of the Cocoseae is a modified drupe, with a sclerenchymatous epicarp and a highly developed mesocarp, formed mainly by parenchyma . The endocarp is generally sclerenchymatous and protects the seeds from predation and drying. The most obvious synapomorphy In phylogenetics, an apomorphy (or derived trait) is a novel character or character state that has evolved from its ancestral form (or plesiomorphy). A synapomorphy is an apomorphy shared by two or more taxa and is therefore hypothesized to have ... of the species of this tribe is the presence, in the endocarp, of three or more "eyes" or pores of germination. Distribution The Cocoseae are distributed mainly in the Neotropical regions, with two genera endemic to Africa (''Jubaeopsis'' and ''Elaeis'') and Madagascar ( ''Beccariophoenix'' and ''Voanioala'' ), respectively. Systematics The Cocoseae in the sense of Dransfield et al. (2008) are ide ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Allagoptera Leucocalyx
''Allagoptera'' is a monoecious genus of flowering plant in the palm family found in South America consisting of 5 accepted species. Compared to other genera within the Cocoseae ''Allagoptera'' is described as particularly specialized.Uhl, Natalie W. and Dransfield, John (1987) ''Genera Palmarum - A classification of palms based on the work of Harold E. Moore''. Lawrence, Kansas: Allen Press. / The genus name is a Greek combination of "change" and "feather", describing the full leaf; it was formerly named ''Diplothemium''. Description ''Allagoptera'' produces very short or acaulescent trunks and in cases where the trunk grows erect it often makes a downward turn leaving the crown below the trunk-base. The trunks in ''Allagoptera'' are among the few in the palm family which tend to bifurcate, producing multiple heads per unit. The pinnate leaves are gently arching to 2 m and are carried on long, slender petioles which are adaxially channeled. The single-fold leaflets are regul ...

Butia Leptospatha
''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 Lallemantii
''Butia lallemantii'' is a species of palm described in 2006. Unlike more familiar ''Butia'' species, this is a clustering, acaulescent species lacking an above-ground trunk. It was the third of such species of ''Butia'' described. It is caespitose; branching underground with normally 3-6 branches. It grows to 60–160 cm tall, with 5-12 leaves with 24-40 leaflets a side. The fruit are edible, ovate-lanceolate, yellow-orange, 2.5-3.5 x 1.6-2.5 cm, with a reddish apex. Etymology & common names The species epithet was chosen in honour of the German naturalist, doctor and explorer Robert Christian Avé-Lallemant, who mentioned these palms in his writings about his travels in 1858. It is locally known as butiá-anão or butiazeiro-anão in Rio Grande do Sul, also butia-zinho in Brazil, and palmera butiacito in Uruguay. Distribution It is found somewhat widespread in an area of southeast Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil and in a fragmented cluster of 8 small subpopulations totallin ...

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 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.''

Butia Capitata
''Butia capitata'', also known as jelly palm, is a ''Butia'' palm native to the states of Minas Gerais and Goiás in Brazil. It is known locally as ''coquinho-azedo'' or ''butiá'' in (northern) Minas Gerais.Fruits of Butia capitata (Mart.) Becc as good sources of β-carotene and provitamin A. Juliana Pereira Faria, Egle M. A. Siqueira, Roberto Fontes Vieira and Tânia da Silveira Agostini-Cost, Revista Brasileira de Fruticultura, Oct. 2011, vol.33, no.spe1, This palm grows up to 8m (exceptionally 10m). It has feather palm pinnate leaves that arch inwards towards a thick stout trunk. Palms cultivated around the world under the name ''Butia capitata'' are actually almost all ''B. odorata''. The real ''B. capitata'' is not notably hardy, nor widely cultivated. In Minas Gerais it flowers from May to July and is in fruit from November to February. Ripe fruit are about the size of large cherry, and yellowish/orange in color, but can also include a blush towards the tip. Taxonomy T ...

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 ...
