Sabal yapa |
Sabal yapa is a species of palm that grows in Belize, Guatemala, western Cuba, and the Yucatan Peninsula region of Mexico ( Yucatán, Campeche, Quintana Roo). It prefers limestone-based calcareous soils. [1] 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.
