Calyptronoma plumeriana is a pinnately compound leaved palm species which is native to Cuba and Hispaniola (both Haiti and the Dominican Republic).[3]

Description

C. plumeriana stems grow singly and reach heights of 4–10 m (13–33 ft), with stems 10–20 cm (3.9–7.9 in) in diameter.[3] It grows in wet areas near the banks of streams at elevations above 450 m (1,480 ft) above sea level; below 450 meters on Hispaniola, it is replaced by the related Calyptronoma rivalis.[3]

Use

The petals of the staminate flowers are sometimes collected and eaten.[3]
