Coccothrinax borhidiana (guano,[2] Borhidi's guano palm)[3] is a palm which is endemic to Matanzas Province in Cuba.[4] Like other members of the genus, C. borhidiana is a fan palm.
Coccothrinax borhidiana is restricted to an area of less than 10 km2 on raised limestone beaches near the sea and is threatened by development and livestock grazing.[1]
It was named after Attila Borhidi, Hungarian botanist.
