In southern Florida, Roystonea regia occurs in strand swamps and hardwood hammocks. [7] Royal Palm State Park in the Everglades was established due to the high concentration of the species. [28] Roystonea is cultivated in tropical and subtropical climates in the United States, Australia, Brazil, and parts of southern Asia as a landscape
Roystonea is placed in the subfamily Arecoideae and the tribe Roystoneae, [8] which only contains Roystonea. [9] The placement of Roystonea within the Arecoideae is uncertain; a phylogeny based on plastid DNA failed to resolve the position of the genus within the Arecoideae. [10] As of 2008, there appear to be no molecular phylogenetic studies ...

Roystonea regia. Prior to European settlement, the Caribbean was dominated by forested ecosystems. The insular Caribbean has been considered a biodiversity hotspot. [1] Although species diversity is lower than on mainland systems, endemism is high. Species diversity is highest and endemism is lowest in Trinidad, which has a predominantly ...
Along the coast from eastern Venezuela to the Guyanas the mangroves form belts a few meters wide associated with deciduous forests, muddy meadows and muddy forests in flooded areas. Dominant species include Costus arabicus, Cyperus giganteus, Eichhornia crassipes, Heliconia psittacorum, Roystonea regia and Mauritia flexuosa.
