"caranda-i" from the Guaranies Indians.<br/>

===Distribution & Habitat:===
Open forest and pampas in Brazil, Bolivia, Paraguay, and Argentina.

===Description:===
Is common to see in one population palms with grey or
green leaves and are known variations (ecotypes) in the
form and size of the trunk or/and size and form of the
leaves and petioles.
Grows in open areas to aproximately 20m tall, and the
trunk is utilized to build bungalows.
Fruits are blacks and ovoids when mature, seeds ovoids,
germinate easily if fresh.

===General:===
Not well known in cultivation, this palm is the
most cold resistent of all ''Copernicias''. It grows in the
north of my country in lowland areas (pampas), in
some locations mixed with ''Syagrus romanzoffiana'',
''Trithrinax campestris'', ''Trithrinax biflabellata'' or
''Acrocomia totai'', only in one area is possible to see
mixed with ''Butia yatay'' and the lowland form of
''Trithrinax campestris'', and in other area of the
northwest mixed with ''Trithrinax shizophylla''.
