Common Name: Maya Palm
Gaussia maya is somewhat of a curiosity palm, grown by collectors who want to grow something they can, but not necessarily for ornamental value. Young palms do have interesting and ornamental ringed, bottle trunks, but these eventually become columnar with age. This palm only tends to hold a few leaves at a time in California (not much more impressive in the tropics, though), so it always seems a bit anemic. This is by far the most cold tolerant member of the genus.
