Summary The OLD MAN PALM ( Coccothrinax crinita (R.D. Hoyt) Becc. subsp. crinita ) is among the most popular Cuban species used in South Florida and the Caribbean for gardening and landscaping, and it has been a flagship species for plant conservation awareness and outreach in Cuba. Its biogeography, conservation status, systematics, and horticultural requirements are reviewed. Watercolour and ink illustrations are presented.
