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.

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 Butia catarinensis, ''B. catarinensis'', from further north along the Brazilian coast. In Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil, local vernacular names for this plant in Portuguese language, Portuguese are ''butiá-da-praia'', or just ''but ...
