Butia capitata, also known as jelly palm, is a Butia palm native to the states of Minas Gerais and Goiás in Brazil. It is known locally as coquinho-azedo or butiá in (northern) Minas Gerais. This palm grows up to 8m (exceptionally 10m). It has feather palm pinnate leaves that arch inwards towards a thick stout trunk.

The Butia capitata, commonly known as the jelly palm or pindo palm, is a strikingly elegant shrub that can bring a touch of the tropics to any landscape. Originating from the grasslands of Brazil to Uruguay, this robust palm is celebrated for its ability to adapt to various soil types and its resilience in drier conditions.
