Chamaedorea cross?

We have only one mature female (precocious) Chamaedorea radicalis in our garden.

It has been in for a few years.

It now has plump green seeds developing quickly.

It was probably fertilized by our nearby large (promiscuious) microspadix male.

But we also have young tepijilote, oblongata and klotzschiana males which have also flowered.

Which would be more likely or closely related?

And is there a table of 'relatedness' of Chamaeys on the web somewhere?

It is not dead, it is just senescence.

C. microspadix is probably a good bet, since it and C. radicalis are the only two palms in the subgenus Moreniella. Btw, that hybrid is known as Chamaedorea Alan Bredeson (Chamaedorea Palms - The Species and Their Cultivation - Donald R. Hodel)

Now they are maturing, Do they still look like hybrid Ch. Alan Bredeson?

We're all curious to see how those babies turn out.

You may have a mixed bag of mongrel mutts from several daddies!

They all or most germinated and grew easily and quite quickly. They looked as you would expect the cross to look like.

I put them in 3 communal pots of about a dozen in each and when they were about 6" high, I gave them away.

They were tall and skinny, they were in the shade.

No, they all found good homes by people who loved them.

I'm sure that they are all still working hard to beautify gardens in a manner just a little out of left field.
