Copernicia
''Copernicia'' is a genus of palms native to South America and the Greater Antilles. Of the known species and nothospecies ( hybrids), 22 of the 27 are endemic to Cuba. They are fan palms (Arecaceae tribe Corypheae), with the leaves with a bare petiole terminating in a rounded fan of numerous leaflets. The species are small to medium-sized trees growing to 5–30 m tall, typically occurring close to streams and rivers in savanna habitats.Govaerts, R. & Dransfield, J. (2005). World Checklist of Palms: 1-223. The Board of Trustees of the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew. Species and hybrids ''Copernicia'' species and hybrids are as follows. Natural hybrids The genus is named after the astronomer Nicolaus Copernicus. In some of the species, the leaves are coated with a thin layer of wax, known as carnauba wax Carnauba (; pt, carnaúba ), also called Brazil wax and palm wax, is a wax of the leaves of the carnauba palm ''Copernicia prunifera'' (synonym: ''Copernicia cerifera'') ...

Copernicia Alba
''Copernicia alba'' is a South American species of palm tree, which is found in the Humid Chaco ecoregion in Bolivia, Paraguay, Colombia, Brazil (in the states of Mato Grosso and Mato Grosso do Sul) and Argentina (especially the province of Formosa, and less abundantly towards drier areas). They often, but not always, form dense single-species woodlands. Its common names in Spanish show the various colours (and technical qualities) that its wood and/or bark takes according to its environment: ''palma blanca'', ''palma negra'', ''palma colorada'' ("white", "black", and "red" palm, respectively). In Guaraní, it is called ''caranday'', "water palm". Its English trade name is wax palm or caranday wax palm (it belongs to the same genus as the Carnauba wax palm). Ancient peoples in South America used wax palm for making candles by scraping away wax on the leaves. ''C. alba'' can reach 25 m in height and 40 cm in girth. The trunk is cylindrical, rarely bifurcated, and ha ...

List Of Arecaceae Genera
This is a list of all the genera in the botanical family Arecaceae, the palm family, based on Baker & Dransfield (2016), which is a revised listing of genera given in the 2008 edition of ''Genera Palmarum''. Taxonomy This is a list of all the genera in the botanical family Arecaceae, the palm family, arranged by tribes and subtribes within the family. ''Genera Palmarum'' (2008) lists 183 genera. ''Lanonia'', '' Saribus'', and the monotypic genera ''Jailoloa'', ''Wallaceodoxa'', ''Manjekia'', and ''Sabinaria'', which were described after 2008, have also been included below. ''Ceratolobus'', ''Daemonorops'', ''Pogonotium'', ''Wallichia'', ''Lytocaryum'', and the monotypic genera ''Retispatha'', ''Pritchardiopsis'', and ''Solfia'' have since been removed from ''Genera Palmarum'' (2008) as obsolete genera. This brings the total number of genera to 181 as of 2016. Subfamily Calamoideae *Tribe Eugeissoneae **''Eugeissona'' – Borneo, Malay Peninsula *Tribe Lepidocaryeae – Africa a ...

Description Like other members of this genus, ''C. berteroana'' is a fan palm. Trees are 4 to 5 metres tall with stems 20 centimetres in diameter. The fruit is black, 2 centimetres long and 1.8 cm in diameter. The leaves are used for thatch. Habitat ''Copernicia berteroana'' is found in flat regions with low rainfall. In Haiti it is threatened by habitat destruction Habitat destruction (also termed habitat loss and habitat reduction) is the process by which a natural habitat becomes incapable of supporting its native species. The organisms that previously inhabited the site are displaced or dead, thereby ....
