Coccothrinax pauciramosa, the yuraguana or yuraguana vestida,[2] is a palm which is endemic to Cuba.[3] Like other members of the genus, C. pauciramosa is a fan palm. Trees are single-stemmed, between 2 and 5 metres tall (occasionally up 15 m tall) with stems 4 to 8 centimetres in diameter (occasionally up to 20 cm in diameter). The fruit is purple-black, 0.7–1.2 cm in diameter.[2]

The species found in Camagüey, Holguín and Oriente provinces in eastern Cuba on limestone hills and serpentine savannas.[2] It is classified as Vulnerable due to its small population and fragmented distribution.[1]
