A South American palm tree that produces a valuable wax coating, often called the wax palm or candelilla palm.
From Greek 'keros' (wax) and 'xylon' (wood), the scientific name for the high-altitude Andean wax palm found in Colombia and Ecuador.
The ceroxylon palm grows at 10,000+ feet in the Andes—it's the world's highest-growing palm and produces a white waxy coating so thick that harvesters can collect it by hand!
