Solitary dwarf parm (Leaf_Butia paraguayensis)

Description

Butia paraguayensis is most commonly a solitary dwarf parm usually forming a subterranean trunk although great variability is shown with some specimens forming large trunks above ground. The leaves range from a grey-green to blue color and the petioles are spineless. In common with Butia yatay with which it shares the same range, the female flowers are much larger than the male.
