Abstract

Known as tucumã in the central part of Amazonia where it is mostly found, this fire-tolerant palm proliferates when people cut and burn the forest or second growth. Cattle pasture or cultivated fields peppered with this prickly palm are a common site in Amazonas, Brazil. The fruits are gathered and after peeling the green skin, the yellow pulp is consumed. Because of its utility, the palm is typically spared when weeding. The liquid endosperm (immature nut) provides emergency water when away from home and some indigenous groups use fiber obtained from the fronds to make twine. The endocarps (nut shells) are used to make ornaments and trinkets.
