Description

Script error: No such module "Unsubst". A slender, small-statured fan palm native to Haiti and the Dominican Republic, Coccothrinax gracilis reaches up to 10 m in height, with a narrow, smooth trunk. It thrives in hot, bright conditions and is well-adapted to tropical and subtropical climates, displaying strong tolerance to both sun and salt. The leaves are completely circular, rigid, and deeply segmented, with a striking silvery hue on the undersides. This species closely resembles Coccothrinax miraguama, though it remains distinct in its finer proportions and compact growth habit.
