===Distribution & Habitat:=== Amazon and Orinoco basins restricted to the upper Brazilian amazon, crossing into Venezuela, Colombia and Peru close to their Brazilian borders. Caranas need good drainage unlike their closest relative, Mauritia flexuosa. Both are rainforest dwellers but intolerant of the full shade of the forest. While M. flexuosa is adapted to clearings usually on the margins of swamps, M. carana occurs mostly on the margins of forest and savannah or rivers (where the riverbank is well drained).
