Description:
This species appears to be a natural hybrid between B. armata and B. aculeata. Brahea var. Nuri from Sonora Mexico and was introduced into Northern California by Dale Motiska from seed collected in Nuri Mexico. Older specimens of B. armata and B. aculeata are hybrids at the Huntington Botanical Garden and U. C. Berkeley Botanical Garden, presumably specimens of Nuri. This species is one of the fastest growing Braheas for the cooler regions of northern California.
