''O. mapora'']] </div> <div class="small-0 large-7 columns"> ===Synonymy:=== ''O. panamanus'' ===Common Names:=== Don Pedrito's Palm<br/> ===Distribution & Habitat:=== Widely spread throughout Central and South America, found in lowlands up to 1000m altitude. ===Description:=== An attractive, medium to large clumpiung palm to 20m tall, with up to 12 stems. ===General:=== Produces edible palm hearts, and so is being considered for commercial cultivation, since new stems grow to replace the harvested trunks. ===Culture:=== Sunny, moist, well drained position. Very good in cultivation, and deserves to be much more widely grown. Appears to be reasonably drought tolerant, but probably not very cold tolerant however. ===Reference: === '''Palms Throughout The World''', David Jones. </div> </div> <div class="row"> <div class="small-0 large-6 columns"> [[File:Oenocarpus_mapora03.jpg|frame|Figure 2.
