Information

[edit]

Henderson and colleagues (1995) considered C. fragrans to be a synonym of Coccothrinax argentata.[4]

Description

[edit]

Coccothrinax fragrans has dark green fan leaves with silvery undersides. It is a slow growing and stealthy palm when healthy. Coccothrinax fragrans is best suited to tropical and warm climates that do not get frost, and the palm is adaptable to coastal exposure.[5]
