Description
A medium/tall thickset solitary palm with dark green, semi-plumose leaves, growing to about 10 metres.
Syagrus comosa is a single-stemmed, palm growing 1 - 7 metres tall. The unbranched stem can be 6 - 12 cm in diameter; it is often covered with persistant petiole bases; and is topped by a crown of 6 - 12 leaves that can each be 1.5 metres long. Fruit; the light green, ellipsoid fruits can be up to 3 cm long and 2 cm wide. (Andrew J. Henderson Field Guide to the Palms of the Americas) Editing by edric.
Culture
Plants are likely to be able to tolerate at least light frosts. Grows best in a sunny position. Prefers a moist, well drained soil. Established plants are drought tolerant. A slow growing plant.
Comments and Curiosities
Uses: The plant is sometimes harvested from the wild for local use of its edible fruit. The apical bud is bitter and stomachic. It is used as an aid to digestion. The fruit pulp is diuretic and mucilaginous. The roasted seeds are used as a treatment for diarrhoea.
A highly ornamental palm from rocky savannas on the Planalto Brasileiro, the high plateaux in central and eastern Brasil, where it is becoming increasingly rare and endangered due to alteration of its natural habitat. S. comosa will grow a very slender trunk, densely covered in persistent leafbases, to 6 m (20 ft.) tall, and carrying a smallish crown of robust, slightly plumose leaves with wide, leathery leaflets. While still nearly unknown in cultivation, mainly due to the lack of seeds, we think this small palm has great potential as a palm for our urban landscapes, wether indoors or out. (RPS.com)
