|discussion=<p><i>Sabal palmetto</i> grows in a variety of habitats, from pine and oak associations to coastal dunes and to coastal marshes (K. E. Brown 1976; S. Zona 1990). Like <i>S. minor</i>, it is polymorphic at the extremes of its range; however, differences in stature, size, and trunk characteristics are not of a magnitude to warrant taxonomic rank. In the pine rocklands of Dade County, Florida, <i>S. palmetto</i> may flower and fruit with little or no aboveground trunk.</p><!--
--><p>Although <i>Sabal palmetto</i> is a moderately important honey plant, its greatest economic use is as an ornamental.</p>
