parasitic twin

[MattyB]

Eh, Ken Johnson, my Satakentia has a parasitic twin. Ever seen that before?

[Palmdude]

Freaky!

[Phoenikakias]

Freaky #2, never seen anything similiar on my palms!

[Pip]

If only palms could be propagated like hen and chicken fern

I can't explain why it does it but I have seen this before..... I could tell you the sp. but it does happen. I have seen a huge number of palms come through our nursery and this is very rare but this is not my first sighting of it, I have seen it once or twice at the most and did recognise it as being odd??

I know or need to know answers for everything but I would assume something happened deep down in the meristem when this was being developed.

I have seen it too, in Paul's duodenum.

Sorry the last post was missing a word and I was too late to edit....this may put my first msg in a different light.... Please disregard the last part of my first post!

It should state that " I don't know or need to know...."

Don't recall ever seeing this on a palm, but I posted here once a plumeria "mini me."

[PalmnutVN]

I've only ever seen this behaviour once and that was on a Chamaedorea cataractarum that I still have to this day.

The extended growth emerged from between the last two sets of pinnae at the end of one leaf. Needless to say, it has never reoccurred since...

MattyB what are you waiting for? Air layer it!

[BS Man about Palms]

Isn't that a band name?
