Iriarteeae

species of plant

Iriartea is a genus in the palm family Arecaceae. It is native to Central and northern and central South America. The genus includes only the one species, Iriartea deltoidea, which is found from Nicaragua, south into Bolivia and a great portion of the western Amazon basin. It is a common tree in many forests in which it occurs. This species is sometimes referred to as "the devil's penis tree" due to the resemblance of the tree's young prop roots to large, erect, black penises.

Dictyocaryum is a genus of monoecious flowering plants in the palm family found in South America. It is closely related to the genus Iriartea; they are commonly called araque or palma real. As many as eleven species have been described but this number is reduced to three in most current accounts. The genus name translates from two Greek words meaning "net" and "nut", describing the thick network of raphe fibers around the seed.

Socratea is a genus of five species of palms found in tropical Central America and South America.

Iriartella is a genus of two species of palms found in northern and northwestern South America (Guyana, Venezuela, Colombia, Peru, and western Brazil; particularly the Acre, Amazonas, Roraima, and Pará states). The Nukak people of Colombia use Iriartella setigera to fashion blowguns.
