The Hall of Florida Fossils - Sabal Palm (Site not responding. Last check: ) |
 | | The sabal palm, Sabal palmetto, also known as the palmetto palm, cabbage palm, and Carolina palm, usually occurs near the coast from southeastern North Carolina to the Florida Keys, west along the northern Gulf of Mexico, Cuba, and various islands of the Bahamas. |
 | | Sabal miamiensis, described in 1985, is now extinct because of loss of habitat due to urban sprawl. |
 | | Although Sabal palmetto is not a rare or endangered species, related species are indeed threatened and require conservation efforts to insure their future. |
