Coconut and Sago Palms throw outspathes during the flowering season.
When these spathes are tapped, exudation of the juice begins.

market was based on naturally regenerated groves of Elaeis
guineensis (oil palms).
- About 18 percent
of all palm species worldwide are found in Mexico—95 species in 22
genera.
