This palm grows in valley in the Andes at elevations of 1700 to 2500 meters. It is part of the forest canopy. Rodents disperse the seeds. It easily regenerates in its natural habitat, but not when it is disturbed.[1]
Fiber from the leaf axils is harvested for use in rope and mattresses. The leaves and fruits are fed to livestock.[1]
