Chamaedorea tuerckheimii

About

Chamaedora tuerckheimii, commonly called the potato chip palm or guoney, is a member of the palm family Arecaceae, with two subspecies displaying disjunct distribution in Guatemala and Veracruz, Mexico. The Guatemalan subspecies has the thinnest stem of any palm, only 3 mm (0.12 in) in diameter. The largest Borassus aethiopum would be more than 600 times thicker. The other, Veracruz, subspecies, is distinguished by having a white border around the edge of each leaf.
