Coccothrinax barbadensis
Template:Short description Template:Speciesbox
Coccothrinax barbadensis (latanier, latanier balai)[1] is a palm native to Venezuela, the Lesser Antilles and Trinidad and Tobago.[2] Like other members of the genus Coccothrinax, C. barbadensis is a fan palm. The leaves are widely used to thatch roofs.
The species is native to Antigua, Barbados, Barbuda, Dominica, Guadeloupe, Marie Galante, Martinique, Saint Lucia, Trinidad and Tobago[1] and Venezuela (including the Venezuelan Antilles).[2] Henderson and coauthors report that the species was probably present throughout the Lesser Antilles, but was extirpated on many of them.[1]
In 2005, George Proctor (in Acevedo-Rodríguez & Strong, 2005[3]) considered Coccothrinax alta to be a distinct species (based on its shorter, more slender trunk, fewer stamens and much smaller fruit, but Rafaël Govaerts[4] considered it a synonym of C. barbadensis.
