Information
Henderson and colleagues (1995) considered C. fragrans to be a synonym of Coccothrinax argentata. It is commonly known as Fragrant Cuban Thatch Palm. The Coccothrinax fragrans is best suited to tropical and warm climates that do not get frost, and the palm is adaptable to coastal exposure.
Characteristics
The Coccothrinax fragrans has dark green fan leaves with silvery undersides. It is a slow growing and stealthy palm when healthy.
