Pacific Copa Palm (Iriartea deltoidea)
Pacific Copa Palm (Iriartea deltoidea) is native to the Pacific coast rainforests of Central and South America, from Ecuador to Bolivia. It is a canopy tree growing to 20m–35m tall. 4-7 large, dark green, plumose leaves sit at the top of a thick, grey trunk that is often swollen in the middle. The fronds are up to 5m long, and feather shaped. The numerous pinnae are fan-shaped and held in various planes. A dense thicket of black stilt roots grows out of its base.
