Description

 The Florida thatch palm is a slender, solitary, very slow-growing, palmate fan palm. Growth averages no more than 6 inches a year.  The entire trunk of young specimens are generally shaggy with matted fibers held between old leaf bases. Trunk diameters are normally 3—5 inches. Typically the Florida Thatch palm produces 12– 20 palmate fronds. The fronds are induplicate, circular and slightly folded. The segments are divided about halfway, split and pendant at the tip. Fronds are green above with yellow ribs, lighter green or yellow green beneath.

 Thrinax radiata is found primarily in coastal scrub areas from the Caribbean to Mexico, and can even grow in exposed limestone. It is also occasionally found in pinelands in South Florida and semi-evergreen forests in the Yucatán peninsula.
