Thrinax
Thrinax is a genus of palms in the family Arecaceae, native to the Caribbean region. The genus comprises three recognized species and is classified in tribe Cryosophileae, subfamily Coryphoideae. Thrinax is closely related to the genera Coccothrinax, Hemithrinax, Leucothrinax, and Zombia, with which it shares morphological similarities. The genus was revised taxonomically in 2008 when Leucothrinax morrisii was segregated from Thrinax based on phylogenetic evidence.
