ivory palm

Phytelephas

Phytelephas is a genus containing six species of palms, occurring from southern Panama along the Andes to Ecuador, Bolivia, Colombia and Peru. They are commonly known as ivory palms, ivory-nut palms or tagua palms; their scientific name means "plant elephant".

They are medium-sized to tall palms reaching up to 20 m tall, with pinnate leaves. The "nut" is covered with pericarp, which gets removed by animals. The kernel is covered with a brown, flaky skin and shaped like a small avocado, roughly 4-8 cm in diameter.
