Butia Poni
''Butia'' is a genus of palms in the family Arecaceae, native to the South American countries of Brazil, Paraguay, Uruguay and Argentina. Many species produce edible fruits, which are sometimes used to make alcoholic beverages and other foods. The name is derived from a Brazilian vernacular word for members of the genus. Description These are 'feather palms', having pinnate leaves up to 3m long including petiole which usually have a distinct downward arch. The species vary from nearly stemless plants rarely exceeding 40 cm tall (e.g. '' Butia campicola'') to small trees up to 12m tall (e.g. '' B. yatay''). ''Butia odorata'' is notable as one of the hardiest feather palms, tolerating temperatures down to about −10 °C; it is widely cultivated in warm temperate to subtropical regions.

Butia Odorata
''Butia odorata'', also known as the South American jelly palm, jelly palm, or pindo palm, is a '' Butia'' palm native to southernmost Brazil and Uruguay. This slow-growing palm grows up to 10m, although it is often less tall. It is identifiable by its feather palm pinnate leaves that arch inwards towards a thick stout trunk. Nomenclature These palms are often called '' Butia capitata'' in horticulture. It was seen as a synonym of that more tropical species until 2011, and many botanical gardens, collectors, and those in the nursery trade have not yet changed their labelling. Even more confusingly; plants with the invented name ''B. capitata'' var. ''odorata'' have circulated in the horticultural trade which were actually the in 2010 newly named ''B. catarinensis'', from further north along the Brazilian coast. In Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil, local vernacular names for this plant in Portuguese are ''butiá-da-praia'', or just ''butiá''. Etymology The specific epithet ''odorat ...

Butia Eriospatha
''Butia eriospatha'' is a small species of '' Butia'' palm endemic to the highlands of southern Brazil. It is very similar to ''B. odorata'', but is easily distinguished from this species by the distinct spathes which are densely covered in rust-coloured, woolly hairs. Indeed, the specific epithet is derived from Greek ''ἔριον'', wool, and Latin ''spatha'', which refers to the spathe. It has been given the name woolly jelly palm (UK) or wooly jelly palm (US) in English. Vernacular names for it where it is native are ''butiá-da-serra'', ''butiázeiro'', ''butiá-veludo'', ''butiá'' ''butiá verdadeiro'', ''butiá-do-campo'', ''yatáy'' and ''macumá''. Taxonomy In 1970 Sidney Fredrick Glassman moved this species, along with all other ''Butia'', to '' Syagrus'', but in 1979 he changed his mind and moved everything back. Description ''Butia eriospatha'' is a solitary-trunked palm tree. The trunk is sometimes inclined to a side, and may occasionally be subterranean. The 20- ...

''Butia catarinensis'' is a mid-sized species of '' Butia'' palm native to the states of Rio Grande do Sul, Santa Catarina in Brazil. Etymology The specific epithet refers to the Brazilian state of Santa Catarina where it is the most distributed. Taxonomy & nomenclature These palms were only named as a new species in 2010, although the populations of this species were known. Before 2010 the palms growing in this region were classified as '' Butia capitata''. J. R. Mattos reclassified this population as ''B. capitata'' var. ''odorata'' in 1977 (see ''B. odorata''), As such, a number of palms under cultivation in botanical gardens, private collections or in the nursery trade under the name ''B. capitata'' or ''B. capitata'' var. ''odorata'' are in fact this species. Larry R. Noblick and Harri Lorenzi described ''B. catarinensis'', ''B. matogrossensis'' and ''B. pubispatha'' in 2010 in the ''Flora brasileira: Arecaceae (palmeiras)'' by Lorenzi ''et al.''
