Attalea × Teixeirana

Attalea × teixeirana is a hybrid palm species native to the wetlands of northeastern Brazil. It is known for its tall, slender trunk and large, fan-shaped leaves that create a striking visual presence. This plant thrives in moist, swampy environments and is often found near rivers and lakes. Its unique genetic makeup results from the cross between Attalea maripa and Attalea phalerata. Due to its ecological importance and ornamental value, it has become a subject of interest for botanists and conservationists alike.
