Astrocaryum perangustatum is a spiny palm tree from the Peruvian Amazon region of Pasco, with a tall stem and relatively short leaves. It is known mainly from botanical records rather than horticulture, so it is rarely grown and its care is not well documented.
Astrocaryum perangustatum is a species of palm tree in the genus Astrocaryum. It has a tall stem and relatively short leaves. The species was scientifically described and named in 1992 by Francis Kahn and Betty Millán. The botanist Andrew Henderson published a description of it as a variety of Astrocaryum murumuru in 1995, but this has not been accepted by other botanists.
