Editing Coccothrinax torrida (section)

===Description:===
''Coccothrinax torrida'' is one of the smallest species in the genus
in terms of trunk and leaf size. The leaves are semi-orbicular,
with a wedge-shaped outline and have an uneven coating of white wax on
the upper surface. The palman (the undivided part of a palmate leaf between
the petiole and segments of the blade, of particular pertinence to leaves of
fan palms) is characteristic in being small, and brightly colored, with
thick yellow ribs on the adaxial side, ending in a thicker sinus with a
brown scar. The palman is also irregular, as the central two segments are
often more deeply divided than the others. The fibre sheaths and
inflorescences are similar to ''C. pauciramosa'', which we consider
the most closely related species. The inflorescences are long, emergent
and little-branched. They change colour as fruits and flowers mature
(yellow-green-white). The flowers are creamy-white and scented at anthesis.
The fruits are small, with smooth, creamy-white epicarps. The seeds are small
and have few grooves.
