Aiphanes horrida is a palm native to northern South America and Trinidad and Tobago. Aiphanes horrida is a solitary, spiny tree. In the wild it grows 3–10 metres tall (9–30 feet) tall with a stem diameter of 6–10 centimetres (2–4 inches); cultivated trees may be as much as 15 m (49') tall with a 15 cm (6") diameter.[2] The epicarp and mesocarp of the fruit are rich in carotene and are eaten in Colombia, while the seeds are used to make candles.[3] In parts of the Colombian Llanos endocarps are used to play games.[2]
The range of the species is found in dry forests between sea level and 1700 m (5600') above sea level in Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Peru, Trinidad and Tobago and Venezuela, but is not native to Ecuador.[3] The species is cultivated as an ornamental throughout the tropics.[2]
Many authors, including Henderson et al. (1995)[3] and Borchenius and Bernal (1996)[2] use A. aculeata rather than A. horrida, giving Jacquin's description of Caryota horrida a publication date of 1809, three years after Willdenow's 1806 description. On the other hand, Govaerts et al. (2006)[4] gives Jacquin's work a publication date of 1801, giving A. horrida priority over A. aculeata.
Aiphanes horrida is commonly known by a variety of names including Cocos rura, Mararay, Corozo, Macagüita, Marará,[3] Macahuite, Corozo del Orinoco, Corozo anchame, Mararava, Cubarro, Chonta, Chascaraza, Charascal, Corozo chiquito, Corozo colorado, Pujamo, Gualte, Chonta ruro,[2] Pupunha xicaxica,[5] Coyure palm, Ruffle palm, Aculeata palm[6] and Spine palm.
The stilbenolignan aiphanol, isorhapontigenin, piceatannol and luteolin can be found in the seeds of Aiphanes aculeata.[7]

Aiphanes horrida es una especie de planta de la familia de las palmeras (Arecaceae), nativa del norte de América del Sur y Trinidad y Tobago.
Es originaria de los valles interandinos de Colombia, y Ecuador y todas las variedades de la especie se encuentran en bosques secos entre el nivel del mar y 1700 msnm en Bolivia, Brasil, Perú, Trinidad y Tobago y Venezuela. La especie se cultiva como ornamental en todo el trópico.
Tiene un estipe solitario de hasta 15 m de altura (en los ejemplares cultivados) y 10 a 15 cm de diámetro, con espinas negras. En el medio silvestre alcanza los 3-10 metros de altura con un diámetro de tallo de 6-10 cm.
Presenta 8 a 10 hojas, cada una con 35 pinnas, de 38 cm de largo por 14 cm de ancho, en promedio, a cada lado, dispuestas en grupos separados e insertas en varios planos, lo que da una apariencia de crespos. Inflorescencia interfoliar con bráctea peduncular con espinas; flores estaminadas mayores que las pistiladas, más largas que anchas.
Frutos en racimo, globosos, de 1,5 cm de diámetro, exocarpio rojo brillante, mesocarpio harinoso de color anaranjado, comestible. Endocarpio de 1,2 cm de diámetro y grosor de 1 mm, contiene una almendra muy apreciada, que se come directamente o puede ser usada en confitería. El epicarpio y el mesocarpio de la fruta es rica en caroteno y se come en Colombia, mientras que las semillas se usan para hacer velas. En algunas partes de los llanos colombianos, los endocarpios se utilizan para jugar.[2][3]
La planta es cultivada, especialmente en los jardines de las viviendas, con fines ornamentales y en el campo, desde hace siglos, para la alimentación humana.
Aiphanes horrida fue descrito por (Jacq.) Burret y publicado en Notizblatt des Botanischen Gartens und Museums zu Berlin-Dahlem 11(107): 575. 1932.[6]
