Common Names:

Carossier palm

Distribution & Habitat:

Hilly areas of south-western peninsula of Haiti on the island of Hispaniola in the Caribbean.

Description:

A large solitary pinnate palm with a "shuttlecock" type leaf arrangement.

General:

Becoming very endangered in the wild, with less than 30 plants left in habitat. The plant is used extensively by the locals; the palm nut is a good source of fat and is used as a food and cooking oil, while the trunk is sometimes used in construction because of its durability.

Culture:

Sunny, but well drained position. Doesn't like being overwatered. [[www.fairchildgarden.org" Fairchild Tropical Gardens
