Lepidocaryum
''Lepidocaryum'' is an unispecific genus of flowering plant in the palm family from South America where the lone species, ''Lepidocaryum tenue'', is commonly called poktamui. Nine species names have been published but palm taxonomists agree that just one variable species includes them all.〔(Kew World Checklist of Selected Plant Families )〕〔Riffle, Robert L. and Craft, Paul (2003) ''An Encyclopedia of Cultivated Palms''. Portland: Timber Press. ISBN 0-88192-558-6 / ISBN 978-0-88192-558-6〕 The most reduced member of the Lepidocaryeae, it is similar in appearance to three closely related genera, ''Mauritia'', ''Mauritiella'', and ''Lytocaryum''.〔Uhl, Natalie W. and Dransfield, John (1987) ''Genera Palmarum - A classification of palms based on the work of Harold E. Moore''. Lawrence, Kansas: Allen Press. ISBN 0-935868-30-5 / ISBN 978-0-935868-30-2〕 The genus name combines the Greek words for "scale" and "nut" and the species epithet is Latin for "thin".
==Description==
At just 2.5 cm in width, the clustering trunks reach no higher than 3.5 m and are covered at the top by old, adherent leaf bases. The small, reduplicate leaves are palmate and borne on 60 cm petioles. Each leaf is split in half, to the petiole, with each half further divided into 2–11 narrow segments.
''Lepidocaryum'' is dioecious, with male and female flowers on separate plants, both with interfoliar inflorescences, branched to two orders, which are superficially similar. Female plants produce oblong or ovoid fruit, usually with one seed, red to brown in color and covered in scales.〔
