I was thinking Kentiopsis oliviformis too.  I wonder what the strings are?

It is K.oliviformis. Beautiful.

The hanging things are technically called reins. They are made of remnant tissue of the leaf formation. In some palm species they become remarkable, such as in this one.

Definitely the one on the left, with the green/white rings and nearly black crownshaft. But the one pictured in the foreground has a different, more white crownshaft and the rings are not green at all. Perhaps another species of Kentiopsis?

In my opinion, from what I can see in the picture, it is variation among individuals of K.oliviformis.

I also think there are no other species of Kentiopsis in the Jardín Botánico; not of this size.
