Immediately upon reaching the palms, we were surrounded by clouds of hungry mosquitos that were not in the least put off by our repellent spray, which provoked us into giving this formerly un-common-named palm the title "Mosquito Palm." We were bitten half to death and soon beat a hasty retreat, lingering only to take some photographs.
Inmediatamente al alcanzar estas palmeras, fuimos atacados por nubes de hambrientos mosquitos a los que no les asustaba, en el lo más mínimo, nuestro repelente para insectos, lo que nos llevó a nombrarla: " Palmera del Mosquito." Nos picaron hasta casi matarnos, por lo que nos batimos precipitadamente en retirada, persistiendo solamente para tomar algunas fotografías.
