Station 4- Coquillo Palm
Astrocaryum alatum Arecaceae
Palm that reaches 4m in height with trunk and fruits covered with thorns, so it is easily identificable. The seeds are dispersed by rodents, specifically by the Sciurus granatensis squirrel. The squirrel buries the fruit to eat it in times of scarcity, which allows the germination of the same if the adequate conditions are given. The hard shell of the fruit( exocarp) is used to make jewelery pieces.
