Cyathea balanocarpa
Cyathea balanocarpa is a species of tree fern native to Cuba, Jamaica and Hispaniola. Despite its wide distribution, little is known about this species. It is apparently of hybrid origin.
In southeastern Cuba it hybridises with Cyathea woodwardioides to form the natural hybrid Cyathea × boytelii.
