| Coccothrinax scoparia
Highland Silver Palm
A beautiful, mid-sized palm from the island of Hispaniola, where it is found mainly in pine forest at higher altitudes in the mountains in the center of the island, both in Haiti and the Dominican Republic. Closely related and similar to C. miraguama, it forms a thin, solitary trunk, clothed in its upper part in coarse leafsheath fibers, which supports a small crown of beautiful, very rigid, circular leaves that are green above and silvery white below. It is best suited for the drier tropics and can withstand a light freeze and some coastal exposure.
