Carludovica palmata (also known as Panama hat plant, toquilla palm, calá, palmilla, palmero, pojom, jiraca, junco, soyacal, tepejilote, and jipijapa) is a species of flowering plant in the family Cyclanthaceae.

Unlike several true palms, C. palmata does not develop a woody trunk.

The Panama hat palm is cultivated from Central America to Bolivia.

Its soft, flexible, and durable fibers are used to weave Panama hats[6] and other items.

Its leaf shoots are consumed in Central America.
