Butia yatay is a large feather palm reaching 12-18 m (40-60 ft) in height with a trunk diameter up to 60 cm (24 in). Its pinnate leaves are 3-5 m (10-16 ft) long, strongly recurved, and glaucous-green to bluish in color, forming a broad, open crown. The leaf bases are persistent at the trunk base, and the canopy is often tilted to one side due to the recurving of leaves. The fruits are yellow to orange, 4-5 cm (1.6-2 in) in diameter, edible, and rich in aromatic compounds, resembling those of Butia odorata but larger.
This species is native to southern Brazil, Uruguay, Paraguay, and northeastern Argentina, where it inhabits grasslands, savannas, and dry woodlands. It is adapted to subtropical climates with periodic drought, thriving in sandy and rocky soils. The palm occurs both in isolated stands and in extensive groves, often forming part of the characteristic “yatayales” of Uruguay and Argentina.
