Sabal minor

Sabal minor, commonly known as the dwarf palmetto or bush palmetto, is one of about 14 species of palmetto palm (Arecaceae, genus Sabal). It is native to the deep southeastern and south-central United States and northeastern Mexico. As recently as the early 20th century, it was native as far north as southeastern Virginia, but its current known range begins about 10 miles south of the Virginia border on Monkey Island in Currituck County, North Carolina, and continues south to Florida. It is widespread along the gulf coast through Louisiana, into Central Texas, Arkansas, north to Oklahoma and south in the State of Nuevo León in Mexico.
