We live about 1km from the ocean at an altitude of 750 feet. The top of the property is very dense bush , interspersed with some big trees and quite alot of Acrocomia  aculeata and Attalea BIMG_8266.thumb.JPG.8f1fd868a68fffda102975139e5a2470.JPGutyracea  palms, In the dense shade there are quite a few interesting small palms, some Bactris and chamaedorea palms as well as a climbing species called Desmoncus.  just about all the Bactris we found were multi stem, hideously spiny with an interesting leaf layout, The ground is super well draining and alot of rock, which is surprising for the Bactris as the other one which grows down by the swamps is almost always wet, It is also a very spiny multi trunk species.IMG_8249.thumb.JPG.d701b69eb5b69f4a27994383d97fbacf.JPGIMG_8250.thumb.JPG.bbeaade303d91df7cb64a26552ae0622.JPGIMG_8252.thumb.JPG.4b4595879e8d84c5c8e1229fc8ca1e63.JPGIMG_8261.thumb.JPG.5fe5212698908ff0d1a0ed3d1d3c36be.JPGIMG_8267.thumb.JPG.dca4d97caf019bc1c7b29e386275c2fe.JPG

    Very cool.  Hope to see many more posts from you about Panamanian palms.

    Amazing pics! No Syagrus Romanzoffiana in your forests down there? I know they are all over Brazil, Argentina, and coastal San Diego and LA, USA 🤣.  The overly saturated but breathaking beauty of the world! 😁
