All my braheas I grew from seeds. (B. moorei and B. dulcis blue received at strap leaves seedlings)

1- Brahea brandegei, the fastest growing

2- Brahea armata, This is my best specimen from all the seedlings

3- Brahea clara

4- Brahea nitida silver

5- Brahea moorei (my favourite dwarf palm. I want to plant a lot more)

6- Brahea dulcis blue

[Alberto]

I have never heard of a "Brahea nitida silver." What's the difference between this and a Super Silver? I thought the latter was quite similar to nitida in form, it was just the silver coloration that was different? Maybe not?

[Cikas]

Brahea Super silver is a new brahea specie, which still has no proper scientific name in taxonomy, because it is a relatively recently discovered.

Brahea nitida silver is a silver form of Brahea nitida.

Brahea nitida and Brahea Super silver are two different brahea species.

PS. Alberto, excellent brahea collection

Yes, but what's the difference between the two? As I said, I thought Super Silver was similar in form to B. nitida, but a different color.
