Serenoa repens

Serenoa repens, commonly known as saw palmetto, is the sole species in the genus Serenoa. It is a small, shrubby palm native to the southeastern United States, most commonly found in Florida and along the Atlantic and Gulf Coastal plains. This plant is characterized by its fan-shaped leaves with sharp, sawtooth-like spines along the petioles, which gives the plant its common name. The plant typically grows in clumps and can form dense thickets, spreading through underground rhizomes. ## Sources - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serenoa - https://fsus.ncbg.unc.edu/main.php?pg=show-taxon-detail.php&taxonid=65766 - https://plants.ces.ncsu.edu/plants/serenoa-repens/ - https://plants.usda.gov/plant-profile/sere2 - https://www.inaturalist.org/taxa/83102-Serenoa-repensRead more
