Acoelorrhaphe wrighti, is native to the wetlands of southern Florida, the Caribbean, and parts of Central America. This clustering palm typically reaches a height of 15 to 30 feet, with multiple thin trunks that form dense clumps, creating a striking visual impact in its natural environment. It thrives in marshy areas and is well-adapted to wet, periodically flooded soils. Known for its fan-shaped leaves, it is often planted in botanical gardens and private landscapes in Florida and subtropical areas where it helps with soil stabilization in wetland restoration efforts. This species produces small, creamy white flowers during the spring bloom season, followed by small fruits that turn orange or black when mature. The plant’s resilience to periodic flooding and salt spray, combined with its attractive form, has made it a valued ornamental plant, particularly in Florida and other parts of the southeastern United States where it complements coastal landscapes.
