Chamaedora tuerckheimii, commonly called the potato chip palm or guoney, is a member of the palm family Arecaceae (syn. Palmae), with two subspecies displaying disjunct distribution in Guatemala and Veracruz, Mexico. The Guatemalan subspecies has the thinnest stem of any palm, only in diameter. The largest Borassus aethiopum would be more than 600 times thicker. The other, Veracruz, subspecies, is distinguished by having a white border around the edge of each leaf.
