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 .
