==Habitat and Distribution==<br />
''Astrocaryum gynacanthum'' is found in Bolivia, Brazil North, [[Image:6715094715_20baff4a20_o.jpg|thumb|left|350px|Belém, Brasil. Photo by Dr. André Cardoso]]Colombia, French Guiana, Guyana, Peru, Suriname, and Venezuela. Widely distributed throughout the Amazon basin, in the undergrowth. Elev. 200-300 m. An understorey plant in lowland rainforest, growing in areas not subject to seasonal inundation, at elevations up to 650 metres, occasionally to 850 metre<br />
==Description==<br />
Solitary palm, trunk hight 4 m., diam. 5 to 10 cm., leaves about 8 in the crown, spirally arranged and spreading, leaf sheath and petiole 145 cm., long, with the petiole alone only 45 cm., smooth margins with a fiberous leaf sheath, rounded both adaxially, and abaxially, leaf rachis 187-193 cm. long, 25-28 pairs of pinnae evenly distributed along the rachis in one plane, middle pinnae 80-84 mm. long, 4-4.5 mm. wide. Inflorescence: androgynous spicate, with 50-60 cm. long peduncle, and 16-17 cm. long rachis bract, peduncular bract having a total length of 70 cm., beak absent, the expanded or inflated part of the bract measuring 22 cm. long, and 6 cm. wide, with 1a 10 cm. perimeter. Fruit: Bright orange when mature, and the epicarp splits open in a flower-like fashion. Editing by edric.<br />
<br />
Astrocaryum gynacanthum is an clustering palm producing several stems usually 2 - 6 metres tall, occasionally to 12 metres. These unbranched stems can be 3 - 10cm in diameter; they are covered with flattened spines up to 15cm long; and are topped with a rosette of 6 - 13 horizontal leaves that can be up to 3 metres long.<br />
<br />
Caespitose, with stems less than 10 cm in diameter, internodes up to 5 cm long, spiny; leaves with less than 50 pinnae per side; inflorescence pendulous; pistillate flower 811 mm long, calyx and corolla armed with flat, flexuose spines long enough to hide the floral parts; petals of the staminate flower strongly reflexed. (scielo.org.pe)<br />
==Culture==<br />
Cold Hardiness Zone: 10b. <br />
==Comments and Curiosities==<br />
Occasionally fruit is a food source and heart is used to prepare vegetable salt, Uitoto (is burned, then cooked and the mixture is filtered) that is mixed with the ambil snuff. S. America - northern Brazil, Bolivia, Colombia, Venezuela, the Guyanas. Fruit - raw, Floury. Occasionally eaten. The bright orange, obovoid fruit is up to 30mm long and 15mm in diameter.Leaves - cooked. The apical bud, often called a 'palm heart', is eaten as a vegetable.Eating this bud leads to the death of the individual stem because it is unable to produce side-shoots. The apical bud is sometimes burnt and the ashes used as a salt substitute.<br />
<br />
A short palm of upland forests in central and eastern parts of the Amazon Basin, the fruits are consumed in some areas, such as in the Upper Rio Negro region. The heart-of-palm is also eaten as a vegetable and one indigenous group burns the palm to obtain ash salts.<br />
<br />
We are following the treatment in the on-line 2012 Flora do Brasil, which treats this taxon as a true species. In the 'World Checklist of Selected Plant Families', however, it is treated as a synonym of Astrocaryum aculeatum G.Me<br />

==Habitat and Distribution==<br />
''Astrocaryum gynacanthum'' is found in Bolivia, Brazil North, [[Image:6715094715_20baff4a20_o.jpg|thumb|left|350px|Belém, Brasil. Photo by Dr. André Cardoso]]Colombia, French Guiana, Guyana, Peru, Suriname, and Venezuela. Widely distributed throughout the Amazon basin, in the undergrowth. Elev. 200-300 m. An understorey plant in lowland rainforest, growing in areas not subject to seasonal inundation, at elevations up to 650 metres, occasionally to 850 metre<br />
==Description==<br />
Solitary palm, trunk hight 4 m., diam. 5 to 10 cm., leaves about 8 in the crown, spirally arranged and spreading, leaf sheath and petiole 145 cm., long, with the petiole alone only 45 cm., smooth margins with a fiberous leaf sheath, rounded both adaxially, and abaxially, leaf rachis 187-193 cm. long, 25-28 pairs of pinnae evenly distributed along the rachis in one plane, middle pinnae 80-84 mm. long, 4-4.5 mm. wide. Inflorescence: androgynous spicate, with 50-60 cm. long peduncle, and 16-17 cm. long rachis bract, peduncular bract having a total length of 70 cm., beak absent, the expanded or inflated part of the bract measuring 22 cm. long, and 6 cm. wide, with 1a 10 cm. perimeter. Fruit: Bright orange when mature, and the epicarp splits open in a flower-like fashion. Editing by edric.<br />
<br />
Astrocaryum gynacanthum is an clustering palm producing several stems usually 2 - 6 metres tall, occasionally to 12 metres. These unbranched stems can be 3 - 10cm in diameter; they are covered with flattened spines up to 15cm long; and are topped with a rosette of 6 - 13 horizontal leaves that can be up to 3 metres long.<br />
<br />
Caespitose, with stems less than 10 cm in diameter, internodes up to 5 cm long, spiny; leaves with less than 50 pinnae per side; inflorescence pendulous; pistillate flower 811 mm long, calyx and corolla armed with flat, flexuose spines long enough to hide the floral parts; petals of the staminate flower strongly reflexed. (scielo.org.pe)<br />
==Culture==<br />
Cold Hardiness Zone: 10b. <br />
==Comments and Curiosities==<br />
Occasionally fruit is a food source and heart is used to prepare vegetable salt, Uitoto (is burned, then cooked and the mixture is filtered) that is mixed with the ambil snuff. S. America - northern Brazil, Bolivia, Colombia, Venezuela, the Guyanas. Fruit - raw, Floury. Occasionally eaten. The bright orange, obovoid fruit is up to 30mm long and 15mm in diameter.Leaves - cooked. The apical bud, often called a 'palm heart', is eaten as a vegetable.Eating this bud leads to the death of the individual stem because it is unable to produce side-shoots. The apical bud is sometimes burnt and the ashes used as a salt substitute.<br />
<br />
A short palm of upland forests in central and eastern parts of the Amazon Basin, the fruits are consumed in some areas, such as in the Upper Rio Negro region. The heart-of-palm is also eaten as a vegetable and one indigenous group burns the palm to obtain ash salts.<br />
<br />
We are following the treatment in the on-line 2012 Flora do Brasil, which treats this taxon as a true species. In the 'World Checklist of Selected Plant Families', however, it is treated as a synonym of Astrocaryum aculeatum G.Me<br />

==Habitat and Distribution==<br />
''Astrocaryum gynacanthum'' is found in Bolivia, Brazil North, [[Image:6715094715_20baff4a20_o.jpg|thumb|left|350px|Belém, Brasil. Photo by Dr. André Cardoso]]Colombia, French Guiana, Guyana, Peru, Suriname, and Venezuela. Widely distributed throughout the Amazon basin, in the undergrowth. Elev. 200-300 m. An understorey plant in lowland rainforest, growing in areas not subject to seasonal inundation, at elevations up to 650 metres, occasionally to 850 metre<br />
==Description==<br />
Solitary palm, trunk hight 4 m., diam. 5 to 10 cm., leaves about 8 in the crown, spirally arranged and spreading, leaf sheath and petiole 145 cm., long, with the petiole alone only 45 cm., smooth margins with a fiberous leaf sheath, rounded both adaxially, and abaxially, leaf rachis 187-193 cm. long, 25-28 pairs of pinnae evenly distributed along the rachis in one plane, middle pinnae 80-84 mm. long, 4-4.5 mm. wide. Inflorescence: androgynous spicate, with 50-60 cm. long peduncle, and 16-17 cm. long rachis bract, peduncular bract having a total length of 70 cm., beak absent, the expanded or inflated part of the bract measuring 22 cm. long, and 6 cm. wide, with 1a 10 cm. perimeter. Fruit: Bright orange when mature, and the epicarp splits open in a flower-like fashion. Editing by edric.<br />
<br />
Astrocaryum gynacanthum is an clustering palm producing several stems usually 2 - 6 metres tall, occasionally to 12 metres. These unbranched stems can be 3 - 10cm in diameter; they are covered with flattened spines up to 15cm long; and are topped with a rosette of 6 - 13 horizontal leaves that can be up to 3 metres long.<br />
<br />
Caespitose, with stems less than 10 cm in diameter, internodes up to 5 cm long, spiny; leaves with less than 50 pinnae per side; inflorescence pendulous; pistillate flower 811 mm long, calyx and corolla armed with flat, flexuose spines long enough to hide the floral parts; petals of the staminate flower strongly reflexed. (scielo.org.pe)<br />
==Culture==<br />
Cold Hardiness Zone: 10b. <br />
==Comments and Curiosities==<br />
Occasionally fruit is a food source and heart is used to prepare vegetable salt, Uitoto (is burned, then cooked and the mixture is filtered) that is mixed with the ambil snuff. S. America - northern Brazil, Bolivia, Colombia, Venezuela, the Guyanas. Fruit - raw, Floury. Occasionally eaten. The bright orange, obovoid fruit is up to 30mm long and 15mm in diameter.Leaves - cooked. The apical bud, often called a 'palm heart', is eaten as a vegetable.Eating this bud leads to the death of the individual stem because it is unable to produce side-shoots. The apical bud is sometimes burnt and the ashes used as a salt substitute.<br />

==Habitat and Distribution==<br />
Said to occur in West Madagascar, but no voucher specimens from the [[File:post-6735-0-26729600-1429352639.jpg|thumb|left|400px|Sri Lanka. Photo by Philippe.]]wild are known. (1995).<br />
==Description==<br />
A medium sized, solitary palm with distinct rusty brownish-orange colored [[crownshaft]] that sports a fuzzy [[tomentum]] from which it's common name, The Teddybear Palm, comes from. The trunk can swell to a girth of about 6 inches and is distinctly ringed with the newest parts being green covered in a white powder. The leaves are exceptionally long with virtually no [[petiole]]. Often the [[leaflets]] get bent around in the wind and are held at various angles giving this palm a bit of a disheveled look, but the overall beauty is still not compromised. (J. Dransfield and H. Beentje. 1995)/Palmweb.<br />
<br />
Solitary palm. TRUNK to 10 m high, 25 cm in diam., slightly flared at the base; internodes 12 cm, nodal scars 2 cm, white.

INFLORESCENCE interfoliar becoming infrafoliar in fruit, branched to 3 orders, to 1.7 x 1.4 m; peduncle to 65 cm long, 11 cm in diam. proximally, 3-6 cm in diam. distally, flattened, reddish tomentose over green; prophyll ± woody, about 43 cm, borne at 12 cm above the base of the peduncle, about 12 cm wide, tomentose; peduncular bract deciduous, woody, inserted at 26 cm from the base of the peduncle, to 70 x 10-15 cm, reddish tomentose; two smaller peduncular bracts present near the apex of the peduncle, to 17 cm long, tomen-tose; rachis 100 cm, flattened, grey-tomentellous, with 24 first order branches; rachis bracts to 3 cm long; rachillae spreading, to 30 cm long, 3 mm in diam., green; with distant triads in pits; rachilla bract 0.5-0.75 mm high. STAMINATE FLOWERS with sepals 2-2.5 mm, keeled, truncate; petals on a 1 mm high receptacle, 2 x 1.5-1.75 mm, ovate, acute; stamens said to be connate for 1.75 mm, filaments 0.8-1 mm long, anthers 1 mm long, dorsifixed?; pistillode 1.75-2 mm, columnar. PISTILLATE FLOWERS with sepals 2 mm; petals 3 x 3 mm; gynoecium 4 mm high, 2-2.5 mm in diam., with 1 mm long stigma lobes. FRUIT globose, dark brown, 10-12 mm; endocarp fibrous, the fibres anastomosing rather intensely. SEED 8.5-10 x 8.5-9 mm, globose, pointed at the base, rounded at the apex, with a subbasal depression corresponding to the embryo; ruminations of the endosperm irregular, to 3.5 mm deep and up to half the diameter of the seed wide. EOPHYLL pinnate. Close to D. lastelliana but differs in rachilla bract (thinner in leptocheilos), and fruit/seed size. (J. Dransfield and H. Beentje. 1995)/Palmweb. Editing by edric.<br />

Close to D. lastelliana but differs in rachilla bract (thinner in leptocheilos), and fruit/seed size. Differences enumerated in the protologue with another species of Dypsis (it is unclear which one). (J. Dransfield and H. Beentje. 1995)/Palmweb.<br />
==Culture==<br />
Loves water and responds well to fertilizer. Grows in bright filtered light to full sun but can get leggy and ratty looking if grown in lower light levels, therefore full sun tends to produce a more beautiful palm. Can handle a light frost with damage but usually will recover with no lasting effects. Cold Hardiness Zone: 10a<br />

==Habitat and Distribution==<br />
Said to occur in West Madagascar, but no voucher specimens from the [[File:post-6735-0-26729600-1429352639.jpg|thumb|left|400px|Sri Lanka. Photo by Philippe.]]wild are known. (1995).<br />
==Description==<br />
A medium sized, solitary palm with distinct rusty brownish-orange colored [[crownshaft]] that sports a fuzzy [[tomentum]] from which it's common name, The Teddybear Palm, comes from. The trunk can swell to a girth of about 6 inches and is distinctly ringed with the newest parts being green covered in a white powder. The leaves are exceptionally long with virtually no [[petiole]]. Often the [[leaflets]] get bent around in the wind and are held at various angles giving this palm a bit of a disheveled look, but the overall beauty is still not compromised. (J. Dransfield and H. Beentje. 1995)/Palmweb.<br />
<br />
Solitary palm. TRUNK to 10 m high, 25 cm in diam., slightly flared at the base; internodes 12 cm, nodal scars 2 cm, white. LEAVES about 15 in the crown, porrect; sheath partially open in outer leaves, about 62 cm long, 5 mm thick, covered in dense rusty brown tomentum, with auricles 3.5 cm high; petiole 17 cm long, 7-9 cm wide, channelled adaxially, densely tomentose but glabrescent; rachis to 4 m long, proximally channelled and tomentose, more distally becoming flattened and eventually keeled distally, glabrous distally; pinnae up to 103 on each side of the rachis, regular, slightly drooping, green, linear, straight, acuminate, the proximal 55 x 0.5-0.8 cm, median 85 x 4 cm, distal 55 x 0.5-0.8 cm, glabrous but for some ramenta on the proximal part of the midrib abaxially, main veins 3. INFLORESCENCE interfoliar becoming infrafoliar in fruit, branched to 3 orders, to 1.7 x 1.4 m; peduncle to 65 cm long, 11 cm in diam. proximally, 3-6 cm in diam. distally, flattened, reddish tomentose over green; prophyll ± woody, about 43 cm, borne at 12 cm above the base of the peduncle, about 12 cm wide, tomentose; peduncular bract deciduous, woody, inserted at 26 cm from the base of the peduncle, to 70 x 10-15 cm, reddish tomentose; two smaller peduncular bracts present near the apex of the peduncle, to 17 cm long, tomen-tose; rachis 100 cm, flattened, grey-tomentellous, with 24 first order branches; rachis bracts to 3 cm long; rachillae spreading, to 30 cm long, 3 mm in diam., green; with distant triads in pits; rachilla bract 0.5-0.75 mm high. STAMINATE FLOWERS with sepals 2-2.5 mm, keeled, truncate; petals on a 1 mm high receptacle, 2 x 1.5-1.75 mm, ovate, acute; stamens said to be connate for 1.75 mm, filaments 0.8-1 mm long, anthers 1 mm long, dorsifixed?; pistillode 1.75-2 mm, columnar. PISTILLATE FLOWERS with sepals 2 mm; petals 3 x 3 mm; gynoecium 4 mm high, 2-2.5 mm in diam., with 1 mm long stigma lobes. FRUIT globose, dark brown, 10-12 mm; endocarp fibrous, the fibres anastomosing rather intensely. SEED 8.5-10 x 8.5-9 mm, globose, pointed at the base, rounded at the apex, with a subbasal depression corresponding to the embryo; ruminations of the endosperm irregular, to 3.5 mm deep and up to half the diameter of the seed wide.

image:Dlimg_0921_zpscc13ed0e.jpg|H.P. Leu Gardens, Orlando, FL., "This is the Teddy Bear Palm, Dypsis leptocheilos, at Leu Gardens. It is around 20ft tall and is flowering for the first time. Amazingly this tender palm was planted back in July 1994 ! It has survived down to 26F (Feb. 1996). It originally grew under a large Laurel Oak. That tree blew over in a storm almost 3 years ago. So it and other palms in this area are now in the open. This palm and a nearby 15ft Dypsis lastelliana were stripped of most of the fronds when the tree fell. They were both stunted for about a year and have since grown out of it." Photo by Eric S., Botonist H.P. Leu Gardens.<br />
