Information
Henderson and colleagues (1995) considered C. fragrans to be a synonym of Coccothrinax argentata.[2] It is commonly known as fragrant Cuban thatch palm. Coccothrinax fragrans is best suited to tropical and warm climates that do not get frost, and the palm is adaptable to coastal exposure.[3]
Description
Coccothrinax fragrans has dark green fan leaves with silvery undersides. It is a slow growing and stealthy palm when healthy.
