Coccothrinax clarensis is a species of flowering plant in the family Arecaceae.[2][3] It is endemic to central and eastern Cuba.[4] Its name suggests that it has small coconut-like fruit (Greek coccos:berry and thrinax:trident or winnowing fork)[5] while clarensis comes from Santa Clara valley in Cuba where the species are found.
Two subspecies are recognised:
- Coccothrinax clarensis subsp. brevifolia (León) Borhidi & O.Muñiz[6]
- Coccothrinax clarensis subsp. clarensis[7]
Henderson and colleagues (1995) considered C. clarensis subsp. clarensis to be a synonym of Coccothrinax gundlachii and C. clarensis subsp. brevifolia to be a synonym of Coccothrinax pauciramosa.[8]
