Butia
''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 leaf, 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. ''Butia yatay, B. yatay''). ''Butia odorata'' is notable as one of the hardy palms, 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'' Arecaceae, 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 Butia catarinensis, ''B. catarinensis'', from further north along the Brazilian coast. In Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil, local vernacular names for this plant in Portuguese language, Portuguese are ''butiá-da-praia'', or just ''but ...

Butia Eriospatha
''Butia eriospatha'' is a small species of ''Butia'' Palm (plant), palm endemic to the highlands of southern Brazil. It is very similar to Butia odorata, ''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 (plant), 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 ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Butia Campicola
''Butia campicola'' is a very small species of ''Butia'' Arecaceae, palm with an underground stem, underground trunk; native to the cerrados of central Paraguay and south-central Brazil.

A local name for it in Paraguay in the Guaraní language was recorded as ''yataycapii''. This name should likely be spelled ''yata'i kapi'i'' and translates as 'forage/straw/grass ''Butia. Taxonomy and history It was first collected by the Swiss physician and botanist Emil Hassler, Émile Hassler in Paraguay in the Mbaracayú Forest Nature Reserve, Sierra de Mbaracayú between 1898 and 1899, and in Piribebuy in 1900, according to the labels on his herbarium specimens. It was formally described by João Barbosa Rodrigues in the 1900 published part of the Plantae Hasslerianae as ''Cocos campicola''. Subsequently, it was never seen again. In 1996 it was r ...

Butia Archeri
''Butia archeri'' is a small species of ''Butia'' Arecaceae, palm with a short trunk native to the states of Goiás, Federal District (Brazil), Brasília, Minas Gerais and São Paulo (State), São Paulo in Brazil.

Glassman named the new species after the collector. Initially he considered it a type of ''Syagrus (plant), Syagrus'', because it had unarmed Petiole (botany), petioles. Among the many characters Odoardo Beccari used to distinguish the genus ''Butia'' from ''Syagrus'' in 1916, Glassman considered the most important to be the three seeds or locules in fruit, the presence of spines along the margins of the petiole, and the smooth rather ...
