This is the tallest species of the genus, and has the longest leaves... from southern Brazil, Argentina and Uraguay... but don't look for major differences between this and B capitata... to me they look basically alike, especially as smaller palms. Has consistently blue-green leaves (sometimes B capitata can have greenish leaves). Fruits about the same size- maybe yellower than B capitata.

Regional...

This plant has been said to grow in the following regions:

Los Angeles, California
