Carludovica
Template:Short description Template:Italic title Template:Automatic taxobox
Carludovica is a genus in the family Cyclanthaceae. It is native to tropical America, from southern Mexico and Guatemala to Ecuador and Bolivia.[1] Carludovica is named in honor of Charles IV of Spain and his wife Maria Luisa of Parma.[2][3]
Cultivation and uses
The genus is probably best known for Carludovica palmata (toquilla), the young leaves of which are made into Panama hats.
An unidentified species belonging to this family (possibly a Carludovica species) has been marketed as a houseplant in the United States under the name "Jungle Drum".
