Coccothrinax hioramii is een soort bloeiende plant uit de palmenfamilie (Arecaceae). Hij komt voor in oostelijk Cuba, in open zandige kustgebieden. Net als andere leden van het geslacht is C. hioramii een waaierpalm. De bomen zijn eenstammig, tussen de 6 en 12 meter hoog met stengels van 7 tot 15 centimeter in diameter. De vrucht is zwart, 0,9–1,1 cm in diameter.

This pretty Palm with fanlike (=Thrinax/flabellate) fronds is not marked in the Three-Climate House of the Hortus. But on the fine website it's called a Coccothrinax sp. Though no expert in Palms, I'm not entirely convinced. I think it's more specifically rather a Thrinax radiata which has sometimes in a dimmer past been called a Thrinax aurantia; 'aurantia' for orange-colored.
Although these Silver Palms were planted along this road in Bahia Honda State Park, there is a natural stand of the Silver Palms near Sandspur Beach on this tiny island. Or maybe these four are Thrinax radiata, the Florida Thatch Palm. I need to plan another trip so I can take a closer look. (October 2014--I did take another look and these are Thatch Palms, not Silver Palms.)
La Cigua palmera, palmchat (Dulus dominicus)

Haciéndole honor a su nombre, en una palma del género Coccothrinax.
En 1760, el zoólogo francés Mathurin Jacques Brisson incluyó una descripción de la palmera en su Ornitología basada en un espécimen recolectado en la colonia francesa de Saint-Domingue, el moderno Haití. Utilizó el nombre francés Le tangara de S. Dominigue y el latín Tangara Dominicensis.

Living up to its name, in a palm of the genus Coccothrinax.
The palmchat (Dulus dominicus) is a small, long-tailed passerine bird, the only species in the genus Dulus and the family Dulidae
In 1760 the French zoologist Mathurin Jacques Brisson included a description of the palmchat in his Ornithologie based on a specimen collected from the French colony of Saint-Domingue, modern Haiti. He used the French name Le tangara de S. Dominigue and the Latin Tangara Dominicensis.
The palmchat is the national bird of the Dominican Republic.
The species is endemic to the island of Hispaniola (politically divided between the Dominican Republic and Haiti), including the adjacent Saona and Gonâve Islands, where it is common and widespread. It inhabits areas from sea-level to 1500 m asl where palm savannas can be found, or other open areas with scattered trees.

Los angelitos son semillas de miraguano ("Coccothrinax miraguama").
Le puse un montón de semillas encima de mi cama y dejé que jugara con lo que vulgarmente llamanos "angelitos". Mi colcha, después, parecía una estola de armiño, un paisaje nevado cuyas montañas y valles estaban sembrados casi completamente... Mira que si llegan a germinar... :-)
Les petits anges sont des semences de Miraguano ("Coccothrinax miraguama").
Je lui ai mis un tas de semences sur mon lit et je lui ai laissé jouer avec ce que nous appelons "petits anges". Mon couvre-lit, après, se ressemblait à une étole d'hermine, à un paysage neigé dont ses montaignes et vallées étaient presque entièrement semmées... Aiaiai si elles arrivent à germer... :-)

Coccothrinax salvatoris is native to Cuba. This is the first time it has flowered in the greenhouse.

This palm had remained tiny for around 5-6 years; now, it's growing rapidly and beginning to develop a trunk.

Coccothrinax crinita (Old man palm)

The rare Coccothrinax crinita, or Old Man Palm is native and endemic to Cuba, meaning it is a species that evolved on this Caribbean island and is not found anywhere else in the world in native habitat. It usually grows in seasonally flooded savannah up to 500m, occasionally in grasslands and hilly areas. This palm can withstand temperatures as low as 20 degrees Fahrenheit when mature and sheds its oldest thatch in windy conditions.
The Old Man Palm is now critically endangered with only 60 – 130 trees left on its native location.

Coccothrinax argentata (Jacquin, 1801) - silver thatch palm in the Bahamas.
Plants are multicellular, photosynthesizing eucaryotes. Most species occupy terrestrial environments, but they also occur in freshwater and saltwater aquatic environments. The oldest known land plants in the fossil record are Ordovician to Silurian. Land plant body fossils are known in Silurian sedimentary rocks - they are small and simple plants (e.g., Cooksonia). Fossil root traces in paleosol horizons are known in the Ordovician. During the Devonian, the first trees and forests appeared. Earth's initial forestation event occurred during the Middle to Late Paleozoic. Earth's continents have been partly to mostly covered with forests ever since the Late Devonian. Occasional mass extinction events temporarily removed much of Earth's plant ecosystems - this occurred at the Permian-Triassic boundary (251 million years ago) and the Cretaceous-Tertiary boundary (65 million years ago).
The most conspicuous group of living plants is the angiosperms, the flowering plants. They first unambiguously appeared in the fossil record during the Cretaceous. They quickly dominated Earth's terrestrial ecosystems, and have dominated ever since. This domination was due to the evolutionary success of flowers, which are structures that greatly aid angiosperm reproduction.
Silver thatch palm trees have relatively thin, subcylindrical trunks that can reach 5 to 10 meters tall. The crown consists of several fans (leaf blades) of highly elongated leaf segments that radiate outward from the leaf stalk. This slow-growing palm tree occurs in coastal limestone and limestone soil settings on some Caribbean islands and in parts of Florida and Mexico.
