''Allagoptera arenaria'', popularly known as seashore palm, is a fruit tree native to the Atlantic Coast of Brazil. It grows in coastal strand, just above the high tide mark, and is widely cultivated as an ornamental throughout South America. ''Allagoptera arenaria'' is relatively short, reaching about tall. The plant is moneoecious, with male and female plants in distinct spirals in the same spike. The leaves emerge right out of the ground from a subterranean trunk that is rarely visible, and grow in a swirling pattern, spreading out on different and seemingly random planes. There are 6–15 bright green to silvery green pinnately compound (feather-like) leaves long, with each leaflet about long. Its fruits are yellowish green and shaped like small coconuts, about long and in diameter. ==Features== ''Allagoptera arenaria'' is cultivated extensively in South America for the edible fruits which are eaten fresh or made into a drink or jam. The leaves are used to make baskets and other woven objects. The generic name of the seashore palm, ''Allogoptera'', comes from the Ancient Greek words ('), meaning change, and ('), meaning wing, and refers to the swirled, changing pattern of the feathery leaves. The species name, ''arenaria'' comes from the Latin, for "sandy" or growing in sandy sites.
