Coccothrinax acunana León[1] |
Coccothrinax acunana (Sierra palm[2]) is a palm which is endemic to Pico Turquino in Cuba. It grows at high elevations (above 900 m), reportedly higher than any other Cuban palm.[2] Like other members of the genus, C. acunana is a fan palm.
Henderson and colleagues (1995) considered C. acunana to be a synonym of Coccothrinax miraguama.[3]
