Aiphanes horrida is a

endocarps are used to play games.[2]

The range of the species is found in dry forests between sea level and 1700 m (5600') above sea level in Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Peru, Trinidad and Tobago and Venezuela, but is not native to Ecuador.[3] The species is cultivated as an ornamental throughout the tropics.[2]

Many authors, including Henderson et al. (1995)[3] and Borchenius and Bernal (1996)[2] use A. aculeata rather than A. horrida, giving Jacquin's description of Caryota horrida a publication date of 1809, three years after Willdenow's 1806 description. On the other hand, Govaerts et al. (2006)[4] gives Jacquin's work a publication date of 1801, giving A. horrida priority over A. aculeata.
