Brown KE. 1976. Ecological Studies of the Cabbage Palm, Sabal palmetto. Palms. 20:3-10
From its center of distribution in central and southern Florida, Sabal palmetto (Walt.) Lodd. ex J.A. and J.H. Schult., exhibits two far-reaching, narrow range extensions along the Atlantic and Gulf coasts. It was this distribution pattern, especially along the Atlantic coast, and the desire to explain it, which led to this study....Realizing the longevity of S. palmetto, the major emphasis of the study was concentrated on the stages from flowering to seedling establishment. Thus, the objectives of the study were to determine the strategy of reproduction in S. palmetto and with this information attempt to explain the distribution of the species in nature
