description_en: Genus of 3 species of single- or multi-stemmed palms occurring in open woodland in seasonally dry areas, or among shrubs on rocky ridges, in southern Brazil. The upright stems each bear a terminal rosette of lance-shaped, pinnate, bright mid-green leaves, with about 60 pairs of linear leaflets. Small, cup-shaped flowers are borne in panicles, to 1.5m (5ft) long, arising from the leaf bases. They are followed by spherical green fruits, which split when ripe to reveal nut-like seeds. In frost-prone areas, grow in a temperate or warm greenhouse. In frost-free areas, grow as specimen trees.
