Bactris simplicifrons |
Bactris simplicifrons is a small (0.5–2 m tall, 0.3–1 cm in diameter) palm[1] which is found in Trinidad and Tobago, Guyana, Suriname, French Guiana, Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru and Bolivia.[2]
Unlike most other species of Bactris, B. simplicifrons is usually non-spiny, or only spiny along the leaf margins. It also tends to have simple, rather than compound leaves.[1]
