Editing Parajubaea torallyi (section)

===Habitat:===
It only grows in sandstone ravines of the mountains of central Bolivia,
in two aisled interandean valleys "palmar"
and "palmarcito" of approx. 14 kmts. diameter and
others smaller, both at approximately 2500 mts. above sea
level, where it grows protected from winds in a big hole
and slopes with a special microclimate.
Despite it being very dry with rain in only 2-4 months of the year,
the ravines themselves are very humid.
It is the only large plant that grows in the area.
It has been found growing at altitudes of 3400 mtrs
which makes this the highest elevation palm in the world.
Even if the area where it grows is protected, the species
is every day most endangered, mostly by locals that
extract the seed endosperms that are edible and
sold in markets of the nearly cities and towns.
