''Caryota'' is a genus of palm trees. They are often known as fishtail palms because of the shape of their leaves. There are about 13 species native to Asia (China, India, Indonesia, etc.), northern Australia, and the South Pacific.〔(Kew World Checklist of Selected Plant Families )〕 One of the more widely known species is ''Caryota urens'', the flowers of which are used to make one type of jaggery (an unrefined sugar), and also to make palm wine. ''Caryota mitis'' is an invasive introduced species in the US state of Florida. They are also one of the few Arecaceae with bipinnate foliage. Many grow in mountainous areas and are adapted to warm mediterranean climates as well as subtropical and tropical climates.〔Govaerts, R. & Dransfield, J. (2005). World Checklist of Palms: 1-223.
