===Common Names:===
Cohune Palm

===Habitat:===
Central American rainforest.

===Description:===
A massive palm, featuring extremely long leaves (up to 10m),
held almost upright, with the dark green leaflets hanging down,
(hence the occasionally used term "rain tree"). These leaves,
combined with a trunk that can reach 15m, results in a
rather impressive plant.

===General:===
The large, oval-shaped fruit is harvested commercially
to produce cohune oil, a lubricant.

===Culture:===
A very slow growing plant, best suited to the tropics,
or a sheltered warm spot in the sub-tropics, it is
none the less quite popular with collectors because
of its majestic appearance.
