Comment: GRIN gives me three possible 'wax palms':

1. . Ceroxylon alpinum Bonpl. ex DC. (wax palm)
2. . Copernicia prunifera (Mill.) H. E. Moore (carnauba-wax palm, wax palm)
3. . Cyrtostachys renda Blume (sealing wax palm)

...only the first of which lives in Colombia, and they don't look much different than Google photos. Can someone confirm this is Ceroxylon alpinum? -- Ayacop 09:03, 13 October 2006 (UTC)

probably Ceroxylon quindiuense which is endemic in Colombia ([1]). --darina 07:32, 20 October 2006 (UTC)

I agree, probably Ceroxylon quindiuense see here --Esculapio 12:27, 11 March 2007 (UTC)
