A new species still pending description
Although this species was introduced by one of the world’s leading seed explorers and distributors a little over a decade ago, it still lacks a formal botanical description. However, there does not seem to be any doubt about its enormous potential as an ornamental palm. It is perhaps the best among the hesper palms, as it is thornless like B nitida, has beautiful silver leaves matched only by those of B armata, is quite hardy and drought-tolerant, and growths relatively quick.
Habitat: In deserts and xeric scrub between 1700 and 2300 meters above sea level.
Distribution: Central Highlands of Mexico.
Description: Single-trunked, hermaphrodite palm, up to 8 meters tall, trunk with remains of old leaves, blue or silver costapalmate leaves especially on the underside in adult plants up to 1.50 meters long, white inflorescence that protrudes noticeably from the crown, small orange fruits.
