===Synonymy:===
''Opsiandra maya''

===Common Names:===
Maya Palm

===Distribution & Habitat:===
An emergent palm of Central American rainforests.

===Description:===
A tall, solitary feather palm, with a rather small, untidy head of leaves.
Its most notable feature is its flowering habit, which can result in up
to a dozen inflorescences being on a plant at any one time.

===Culture:===
Likes a shady, moist, well drained position as a youngster,
but can take more sun as it grows.

===General:===
Note from Jay Vannini:
This sp. (or something closely related) ranges west almost to the border
with Chiapas in the Sierra de Chinaj, and east well into Belize.
I am somewhat amused by the group think manifested on the
IPS forum that insists that this sp. is unattractive.
Perhaps the seed generated
from Belizean population generates the three-leaf wonders in captivity...
