Coccothrinax jimenezii
Coccothrinax jimenezii is a fan palm which is endemic to the island of Hispaniola in the Caribbean. First formally described in 2013, the species is only known from two small populations, and is considered critically endangered.
C. jimenezii is known from two sites – on the shore of Lago Enriquillo in the Dominican Republic and near the Baie des Gonaïves, near Gonaïves, Haiti. As of 2015 the Dominican population consisted of 16 adults and two juveniles, while the Haitian population consisted of 43 individuals, most of which were juveniles.
