Henderson and colleagues (1995) considered C. proctorii to be a synonym of Coccothrinax argentata.[4]
A medium-sized palm, with a slender trunk, and an open crown, of deeply divided leaves, with nearly perfectly symmetrical divisions, dark green above, and silvery white below. The trunk type is solitary.
