Haitiella L.H.Bailey Thrincoma O.F.Cook Thringis O.F.Cook Coccothrinax is a genus of palms in the family Arecaceae.

[2][3][4] Coccothrinax is a genus of small to medium-sized, fan palms with relatively slender stems[5] and 8 to 22 palmate leaves.

These break down into a network of fibres or spines, eventually leaving a bare trunk covered with leaf scars.

[5] The undersides of the leaflets are often silvery-grey;[6] this is reflected in the common name "silver palm", which is given to many species of Coccothrinax.

[6] Species are usually found in dry, open or exposed habitats, on limestone, serpentine or sandy soils.

[14] Large collections are grown in Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden (more than 250 plants, more than 23 species),[15] in Miami, Florida, Jardín Botánico Nacional (15 species)[16] in Havana, Cuba, and Palmetum of Santa Cruz de Tenerife (more than 1,000 Thrinax and Coccothrinax plants),[17] in the Canary Islands, Spain.
