A beautiful Syagrus, endemic of the Chapada Diamantina -Bahia ,grows on rocks at about 1000m altitude. The vegetation of the mountain was recently almost destroyed by a huge fire . Very ornamental plant.

I think so , because is found in the municipality of Mucugê - BA at an altitude of approximately 1000 meters and Syagrus are resistant .

Syagrus harleyi is another dwarf species that I do not have yet.  I wish seeds of the dwarf Syagrus and Butia species was more available because I really like them.  Seeing some of them in habitat and then after visiting Harri Lorenzi's Plantarum Botanical Garden in Brasil I became very interested in them. 

Attached photo shows many of them growing on a mound at the Plantarum Botanical Garden,

After 300 days they continue to germinate .
