Syagrus pseudococos
Syagrus pseudococos is a species of flowering plant in the family Arecaceae. It is found in tropical rainforest and on rocky outcrops in eastern Brazil along a coastal strip from extreme south of state of Bahia south through Espírito Santo, Rio de Janeiro to São Paulo.[1][2][3][4][5] Syagrus pseudococos has a single, thin, greenish trunk which grows over 50 feet (15 meters) high. It produces quite large fruit and has a full crown. It grows best in rich, well drained soil.[6] It can be distinguished from other species of Syagrus by the pear-shaped form of the fruit. The seeds are also unique among Syagrus in having a hollow interior to the endosperm, just like a coconut.[5] It is possibly known as coco verde in California,[6] whereas in Brazil it is known as coco-amargoso or peririma.[5] References Wikimedia Commons has media related to Syagrus pseudococos.
