Most common names or nursery names aren't worth worrying about. Many Dypsis have a white powder characteristic. It actually looks like a droopy Dypsis onilahensis, either way a very nice looking palm. Where did you source this ?

Happy Gardening

Don't rely on me for identifications, I use the labels for ID and even that is not reliable - but Wal has a pretty good eye. Here are a couple of pics for comparison.

Hey Wal I bought it from Palms For Brisbane but I must confess this was before the palm obsession well and truly had taken hold. I am sure the guys there told me what it was at the time but for whatever reason the name didn't sink in. I also thought the palm didn't grow to more than 4 metres but again my memory is very much clouded by time and the countless number of palms I have shopped for since. Thanks for your input.
