I love this species too and yours looks quite happy!

I didn't get to see a new leaf this trip though.

I also have a couple of the little supposedlyottle form.

These are sweet little palms and, in my opinion, you can't have too many of the smaller Calyptocalyx.

Here are a few photos of C. pachystachys in the garden. I've actually seen mature specimens of these

get to be about 12-14 feet tall, but that would take many years.

Here's the standard form of C. pachystachys

These are the mottled form, the new leaf is killer.

Stunning Tim !!!!

Cindy, your C. pachystachys has really grown! It looks as though your last pic is a Pinanga.......maybe.

Richie, as far as I know, this one really doesn't have a name other than sp. mottled.

Thanks Paul, looking forward to meeting you soon.
