Sabal yapa
Also called Thatch Palmetto
Sabal yapa is a species of palm that grows in Belize, Guatemala, western Cuba, and the Yucatan Peninsula region of Mexico (Yucatán, Campeche, Quintana Roo). It prefers limestone-based calcareous soils. It is often described as a palmetto palm as it has costapalmate fronds, which are a transition phase between fan palms and feather-leaved palms.
