List of palms native to the Caribbean

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Acrocomia aculeata

The palm family, Arecaceae, is widespread in the Caribbean. Globally there are about 191 genera and 2339 species as reported in 2004 by Carlo Morici.[1] Their distribution is biased toward islands – 36% of genera and 52% of species are found only on islands, while 32% of genera and 6% of species are found only on continents. Sixty-two percent of monotypic genera are found only on islands.[1]

Phytogeographically, the Caribbean region is often considered to include the coastal plains of the United States (including south Florida), Mexico (especially the Yucatan), Belize, Colombia and Venezuela.[2] Most species either have a wide distribution which includes part of the Caribbean, or are endemic to the Greater Antilles. Of the islands in the Caribbean, Cuba has the most species of palm, followed by Hispaniola. The Windward and Leeward Islands have the fewest.[1] The palm flora of Trinidad and Tobago consists primarily of species with a South American distribution.[3] Three genera of palm are endemic to the Greater Antilles: Calyptronoma, Hemithrinax and Zombia.[1] Although nearly ubiquitous in the region, the coconut (Cocos nucifera) is not native to the Caribbean. The Caribbean species in the genus Copernicia are all Greater Antillean endemics; two species are restricted to Hispaniola, while the others are restricted to Cuba.

Genera[]

Nomenclature follows the Arecaceae section of the World Checklist of Selected Plant Families.[4]

Acoelorrhaphe[]

Acoelorrhaphe wrightii

Acoelorrhaphe is a monotypic genus which is distributed around the margins of the Caribbean Sea, from Florida to San Andrés and Providencia, Colombian islands in the western Caribbean. The tree is a slender fan palm growing up to 7 metres (23 ft) tall, usually with many stems clustered together.[5] Acoelorrhaphe is a sister genus to Serenoa (Saw Palmetto), which is endemic to the southeastern United States.[6] The species usually grows in low-lying areas near sea level, often in flooded woodlands or thickets in savannas.[2]

Acrocomia[]

Acrocomia is a genus of spiny palms found throughout the Neotropics, from Mexico to Argentina and throughout the Caribbean. Since it covers such a large range and is highly variable, as many as 40 species have been described in this genus. Most authors recognise only three species, A. aculeata, A. crispa and A. hassleri,[4] but others considers A. media to be distinct from A. aculeata.[8] Caribbean species have single, spiny stems 4–18 metres (13–59 ft) tall.[2]

Aiphanes[]

Aiphanes is a genus of small to medium-sized spiny palms. Caribbean species have solitary stems and are 3 to 18 metres (10 to 59 ft) tall.[2] Most of the 23 species of Aiphanes[1] are found in the Andes; two species occur in the Caribbean, including A. minima, which is endemic to the region. Although many sources (e.g., Henderson et al. 1995[2]) consider the name A. aculeata to have precedence over A. horrida, in keeping with the nomenclature of the World checklist,[13] the latter name is used.

Astrocaryum[]

Astrocaryum is a genus of spiny palms native to Mexico, Trinidad, Central and South America; the sharp, flattened spines that cover the trunk can be up to 30 cm (12 inches) long.[2] The Caribbean species has solitary stems, 8 to 20 metres (26 to 66 ft) tall. There are about 36 species in the genus. One of them, A. aculeatum, occurs in the insular Caribbean, while four others are found in the wider Caribbean: Astrocaryum alatum on the Caribbean coast from Panama to Nicaragua, on the Caribbean coast of Panama and Costa Rica, A. mexicanum along the Caribbean coast from Mexico to Nicaragua, and A. standleyanum on the Caribbean coast of Panama.[2]

Attalea[]

Attalea is a large genus which includes some of the largest Neotropical palms.[2] Three of the 67 species are present in the insular Caribbean, but two of these are restricted to Trinidad and Tobago which is on the continental shelf. The third species, A. crassispantha, is endemic to southwest Haiti; due to its very small population size, it is classified as a critically endangered species[16] Three other species occur in the wider Caribbean: along the Caribbean coast of Panama and Colombia, A. cohune on the Caribbean coast from Mexico to Nicaragua and on the Caribbean coast of Panama.[2]

Bactris[]

Bactris is a genus of palms which is found from southern Mexico to northern Paraguay. It is one of the largest and most diverse palm genera in the neotropics. Most species are medium-sized spiny palms with clustered stems. Most of the species present in the Caribbean are spiny trees 1 to 10 metres (3 to 33 ft) tall with clustered stems and pinnate leaves; B simplicifrons is smaller (0.5–2 m) and often has simple leaves and no spines.[2]

Seven of the 75 species in the genus Bactris occur in the insular Caribbean. Three species - B. cubensis, B. jamaicana and B. plumeriana are Greater Antillean endemics, while the other four are South American species which extend north into Trinidad and Tobago.[2] Salzman and Judd consider the three Greater Antillean species of Bactris to form a clade with B. plumeriana and B. jamaicana as sister species.[20] Fifteen other species occur in the wider Caribbean: on the Caribbean coast of Panama and Colombia, on the Caribbean coast from Nicaragua to Panama, on the Caribbean coast of Panama, B. coloniata on the Caribbean coast of Panama, on the Caribbean coast from Costa Rica to Colombia, B. gasipaes on the Caribbean coast from Mexico to Venezuela, on the Caribbean coast from Costa Rica, to Colombia, on the Caribbean coast from Nicaragua, to Panama, on the Caribbean coast of Nicaragua and Costa Rica, on the Caribbean coast of Colombia and Venezuela, along the Caribbean coast from Honduras to Colombia, along the Caribbean coast from Costa Rica to Colombia, along the Caribbean coast from Belize to Nicaragua, along the Caribbean coast of Costa Rica and along the Caribbean coast of Panama.[2]

Calyptronoma[]

Palms in the genus Calyptronoma have pinnately compound leaves and large, solitary stems 4 to 15 metres (13 to 49 ft) tall. The genus is endemic to the Greater Antilles, inhabiting wet areas near streams. Calyptronoma is closely related to the Central American genus Calyptrogyne.[2]

Two species, C. argentata and C. barbadensis, are widespread, while most of the others are restricted to Cuba and Hispaniola.

Colpothrinax[]
