Astrocaryum jauari

Astrocaryum jauari

An unusual, clustering, spiny palm from the Amazon rainforest. The FIELD GUIDE TO THE PALMS OF THE AMERICAS tells us that seedlings can be submerged for 300 days per year, making them ideal if you're a bit heavy handed with the watering can, want some different plants for your aquarium, or, more seriously, live in a very wet, tropical area. The leaflets of this stunning palm are plumose, giving the look of a Syagrus, but with attitude. Seeds of this species are very rarely offered, so hurry to secure a batch for yourself!
