A medium-sized palm, native to savannas and dry woodland in Cuba. It has a short and relatively slender trunk and a spreading crown of stiff, circular fan leaves with a most desirable, waxy-white color. Like all Cuban Copernicia, it is relatively slow growing and prefers full sun even as a seedling. A dry tropical or subtropical climate suits it best.
