Acrocomia media

Acrocomia media is a species of palm which is native to Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands.

Description
Acrocomia media is a pinnately leaved palm with a solitary, stout stem. It usually reaches a height of 8 to 10 m, sometimes growing up to 15 m tall, with a stem diameter of 20 to 30 cm.

Taxonomy
American botanist George Proctor considered A. media to be a valid species on the basis of its shorter, more slender trunk, but other authors considered it a synonym of A. aculeata.

Common names
Acrocomia media is commonly known as coroso or palma de coroso in Puerto Rico.
