Project Palm

Copernicia macroglossa
Cuban Petticoat Palm

Did you know Cuba is home to more than 80 native palm species? From towering royal palms to rare fan palms found nowhere else on Earth, the island is one of the Caribbean's great centers of palm diversity.

Every species in the Project Palm Species Library includes its native country or countries of origin, making it easy to explore palms by where they grow in nature.

Thanks so much to @டிலன் தென்ப்பூவகம் for sharing this wonderful photo with us! All palm photos on our website have been contributed by our members.
