Coccothrinax clarensis is a species of flowering plant in the family Arecaceae. [1][2] It is endemic to central and eastern Cuba.[3] Its name suggests that it has small coconut-like fruit (Greek coccos:berry and thrinax:trident or winnowing fork)[4] while clarensis comes from Santa Clara valley in Cuba where the species are found.

Two subspecies are recognised:

  • Coccothrinax clarensis subsp. brevifolia (León) Borhidi & O.Muñiz[5]
  • Coccothrinax clarensis subsp. clarensis[6]

Henderson and colleagues (1995) considered C. clarensis subsp. clarensis to be a synonym of Coccothrinax gundlachii and C. clarensis subsp. brevifolia to be a synonym of Coccothrinax pauciramosa.[7]
