Sabal yapa (Sabal yapa)
Description
Sabal yapa is a species of palm. It grows in Belize, Guatemala, western Cuba, and the Yucatan Peninsula region of Mexico (Yucanán, Campeche, Quintana Roo). It prefers limestone-based calcareous soils. It is often described as a palmetto palm as it has costapalmate fronds, which are like a transition phase between fan palms and feather-leaved palms.
