Abstract

A fossil palm is reported for Costa Rica as a new species under the name of Palmacites berryanum. The fossil was found in the Tertiary deposits of Pozo Azul de Parrita, Province of Puntarenas. It is described entirely on the basis of anatomical characters which suggest possible relationships with modern genera of the Palmae.
