Synonyms:
Paurotis wrightii,
P. androsana,
Acanthosabal caespitosa
Common Names:
Paurotis Palm,
Silver Saw Palmetto,
Everglades Palm
Habitat:
Moist, sandy soil, often swamps (usually coastal), around the Caribbean coast from Florida to the West Indies.
Description:
A very attractive clumping plant, with distinctive silvery fan leaves, and a fibrous sheath around the trunk. If given the right conditions, (sun, water, and warmth) it can form a very large clump, several metres across, and up to about 5 metres high.
General:
This is a very ornamental plant, and quite a quick grower, but because of the size that it can reach, it is usually best planted in open spaces (unless you're quite handy with a pruning saw to lop out the occasional trunk).
Culture:
Full sun, and lots of water (likes to be able to get into ground water). Also reasonably cold tolerant.
