Desmoncus polyacanthos, the jacitara palm,[1] is a spiny, climbing palm native to the southern Caribbean and tropical South America. Stems grow clustered together, and are 2–12 m long and 0.5–2 cm in diameter. Petioles, rachis, cirrus and peduncular bracts are covered with short, curved spines.[2] Two varieties are recognised: D. polyacanthos var. polyacanthos[3] and D. polyacanthos var. prunifer (Poepp. ex Mart.) A.J.Hend.[4]

Desmoncus polyacanthos is found in Colombia, Venezuela, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, Trinidad and Tobago, Guyana, Suriname, French Guiana, Brazil, Bolivia, Ecuador and Peru.[5][2] The stems are used for baskets and sieves.[2]
