Danny,

looks more like Regia than oleracea...

Oleracea leaflets are more plumos at a younger age then regia.

Josh, I thought it was the other way around. Isn't regia suppose to be plumose. I bought this one as "oleracea". I also bought some regias the same size at the same time that where already plumose and very slow growers compared to this one.

I'm no royal expert but I have lots of 15 gal Cubans and none of them are plumose yet.

Im no royal expert either. It was sold to me as oleracea. So I guess its an ollie to me. :) hehe

Ollie or not its a variegated royal. I had no idea, I just noticed the yellow line yesterday. Then I noticed the little critter on it so I had to take some pics.

I wonder if more of those yellow lines will show up later?

I had an adonidia do this in one leaflet only. When that frond died it never occurred again.
