Roystonea regia (Kunth)O.F.Cook
FLORIDA ROYAL PALM
**
This species is believed to have been observed by William Bartram along "the St. John's River between Astor and Lake Dexter, Lake and Volusia Counties" (Harper 1946) and was perhaps later extirpated by severe frosts in 1835 (Cooper 1861; Small 1938). Native to extreme South Florida, the species is widely cultivated and has spread and naturalized in many areas of South Florida.
