Correct ID for another palm in Puerto Rico

On touring Noel Pecunia's nursery in Aguadilla, PR we saw a potted palm called Gaussia attentuata. I remembered it being on the inventory list the former owner of our farm gave to us years ago. We'd never found time to ask her its location.

She was with us on the nursery tour so got an answer and as soon as we got back to our farm (about an hour away) my husband removed torch gingers, dead fronds of coconuts, etc. I did the pruner trimming and supplied a label-finally. It had been in partial to full shade so now can get some sun.

The identification looks correct to me, but I'd appreciate Palmtalk confirmation.

That's it! Never a great looking palm as it always maintains a minimal amount of fronds.
