Gaussia spirituana is a palm which is endemic to the Sierra de Jatibonico in east-central Cuba.[2]

Gaussia spirituana stems are whitish, up to 7 metres tall. Stems are 30–35 centimetres in diameter, swollen at the base and tapering upward. Trees have up to ten pinnately compound leaves. Fruit are orange-red, 1 cm in diameter.[3]

The species is considered endangered based on the fact that only 150 individuals are known to exist, and they are fragmented into five subpopulations.[1] They are also threatened by habitat destruction and non-native pathogens.[1]
