Description
Taxonomy
American botanist George Proctor considered A. media to be a valid species on the basis of its shorter, more slender trunk,[1] but other authors considered it a synonym of A. aculeata.[2][3]
Common names
Acrocomia media is commonly known as coroso or palma de coroso in Puerto Rico.[1]
