This species is not as also exists (Figure 1). The persistent leaf bases are split, resistant to windstorm damage as most other species of creating an attractive pattern on the 15–18-inch-diameter palms. They are highly drought tolerant and moderately trunks. The dark brown male and female inflorescences are tolerant of salt spray on the leaves. These palms grow well produced on separate trees, with females developing olive- on a wide variety of soils, but are susceptible to potassium brown fruit about 1.5 inches in diameter.

Potassium deficiency also causes premature leaf death and can reduce the number of leaves that the palm can support. Figure 2.

We propose a method for seed shape quantification based on the comparison of the bi-dimensional images of the seeds with geometric figures. J index is the percent of similarity of a seed image with a figure taken as a model. Models in shape quantification include geometrical figures (circle, ellipse, oval ::: ) and their derivatives, as well as other figures obtained as geometric representations of algebraic equations. The analysis is based on three sources: Published work, images available on the Internet, and seeds collected or stored in our collections. Some of the models here described are applied for the first time in seed morphology, like the superellipses, a group of bidimensional figures that represent well seed shape in species of the Calamoideae and Phoenix canariensis Hort. ex Chabaud.
