Acrocomia crispa (Cuban belly palm, Corojo Palm), a palm species which is endemic to Cuba. Formerly placed in its own genus, Gastrococos, recent work found that that genus was nested within Acrocomia.[2] It is a tall, spiny palm with a trunk that is slender at the base, but swollen in the middle, giving it the name "Cuban belly palm" in English.[3] It is closely related to the genus Acrocomia.[1]
