Phytelephas macrocarpa is a single-stemmed, unarmed, reclining or erect palm from the extreme northern coastal regions of South America, growing to some 12 m tall. It has been introduced and cultivated in tropical regions all over the world. The trunk is about 30 cm across, with prominent leaf scars. The crown is made up of about 30 plume-like Phytelephas macrocarpa is a single-stemmed, unarmed, reclining or erect palm from the extreme northern coastal regions of South America, growing to some 12 m tall.

Strains isolation. A total of four strains were isolated from the symptomatic tissues of the mature nuts of Phytelephas macrocarpa using single spore isolation (Zhang et al. Citation 2013).The type specimens of new species described in this study were deposited in the Fungarium of Institute of Microbiology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing, China (HMAS), and the living ex-type The vegetable ivory palms (Phytelepheae) form a small group of Neotropical palms whose phylogenetic relationships are not fully understood. Three genera and eight species are currently recognized; however, it has been suggested that Phytelephas macrocarpa could include the species Phytelephas seemannii and Phytelephas schottii because of supposed phylogenetic relatedness and similar morphology 430 53 Phytelephas macrocarpa.
