Species
- Beccariophoenix alfredii - High Plateau Coconut Palm
- Beccariophoenix madagascariensis - Coastal Beccariophoenix
- Beccariophoenix sp. 'Windows' - "giant windowpane palm"
The 'windows' palm is currently classified as a variant of B. madagascariensis, but the diversity within B. madagascariensis suggests the possibility of new taxa awaiting description, even though the differences between the separate populations of B. madagascariensis are less than the differences with B. alfredi.

Famous quotes containing the word species:
“Both classically- and romantically-minded spirits—inasmuch as these two species always exist—occupy themselves with a vision of the future: but the former do so out of a strength of their age, the latter out of its weakness.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
“Our species successfully raised children for tens of thousands of years before the first person wrote down the word “psychology.” The fundamental skills needed to be a parent are within us. All we’re really doing is fine-tuning a process that’s already remarkably successful.”
—Lawrence Kutner (20th century)
“There are acacias, a graceful species amusingly devitalized by sentimentality, this kind drooping its leaves with the grace of a young widow bowed in controllable grief, this one obscuring them with a smooth silver as of placid tears. They please, like the minor French novelists of the eighteenth century, by suggesting a universe in which nothing cuts deep.”
—Rebecca West (1892–1983)
