Butia capitata, also known as jelly palm, is a palm native to the states of Minas Gerais and Goiás in Brazil.^[4] This palm grows up to 8m (exceptionally 10m). It has feather palm pinnate leaves that arch inwards towards a thick stout trunk.

Palms cultivated around the world under the name Butia capitata are actually almost all B. odorata. The real B. capitata is not notably hardy, nor widely cultivated.^[4]^[5]

It flowers from May to July in Minas Gerais.^[6] Ripe fruit are about the size of large cherry, and yellowish/orange in color, but can also include a blush towards the tip.

Taxonomy

This taxon was first scientifically described in 1826 as Cocos capitata in the Historia Naturalis Palmarum by Carl Friedrich Philipp von Martius, who described and illustrated the palm from sketches and herbarium collections he made on montane grasslands near the Serra de Santo Antônio, Minas Gerais.^[2]^[6]

Chemistry

The pulp is a good source of β-carotene and provitamin A.^[7]
