Description: Comment: GRIN gives me three possible 'wax palms':. Ceroxylon alpinum Bonpl. ex DC. (wax palm). Copernicia prunifera (Mill.) H. E. Moore (carnauba-wax palm, wax palm). Cyrtostachys renda Blume (sealing wax palm)..only the first of which lives in Colombia, and they don't look much different than Google photos. Can someone confirm this is Ceroxylon alpinum? --
Ayacop 09:03, 13 October 2006 (UTC) probably Ceroxylon quindiuense which is endemic in Colombia (
[1]). --
