===Common Names:===
Fagilde's Palm<br/>

===Distribution & Habitat:===
''C. fagildei'' is endemic to a few cliffs facing the sea by
Santiago de Cuba.
It grows on dogtooth limestone cliffs which are virtually soilless.
To be precise it grows among fallen blocks. The xeric environment with
agaves and plumerias has a high species diversity and hosts quite
a few endemic species and the Fagilde's palm is one of them.
What is low there is the biomass, in the sense of quantity of vegetation.
It is fully tropical with no cold spells and there are 30m tall
mamoncillo trees 1 km away by the river, where soil and water are abundant.
The average annual temperature is 28C and yearly rainfall is 700 mm.

===Description:===
''Coccothrinax fagildei'' is the suckering Coccothrinax par excellence.
I counted 20-50 heads on most adult individuals.
Its way of suckering is roughly comparable to
a href=".._Acoelorrhaphe_index|''Acoelorraphe'']]
but stems are quite thinner.

===General:===
''C.fagildei'' is a strong easy grower, but slow.
Three years old seedlings are now unfolding their
first palmate leaves in 22 cm pots.

===Culture:===
Would prefer very well drained limestone based soils.
Drought tolerant, but would probably require tropical temperatures.
