I finally sorted all my photos of my last trip in Analalava special reserve on East Coast of Madagascar.

According to me, it's probably the most amazing place in Madagascar for palms.

So are you ready for this ? ^_^

Absolutely jaw-dropping!  What a rush to see these fantastic palms in habitat.  Sometimes when looking at such tall palms, it's hard to know for sure what they are.  Finding clues on the ground that have fallen, like the seeds, helps in confirmation.  Great photos!  Did you have to clear around the palms so they could be photographed?

Yes, it's sometimes very difficult and seeds are often the best way to confirm ...

Bejofo in malagasy means "with cinder", like this at the base of the stipe. It's a specific feature

Your pictures are great! Some real nice beauties. Except for D. carlsmithii, they look pretty bad where as they look totally different and much happier in the shade. Saw them on the Masoala. Thanks!

Man, bejofo and carlsmithii look quite similar. One's a great grower for me and the other is a no-grow... weird.

Pete, there are two forms of M. insignis. The one here is northern and there is a southern form found in the southern rainforest. I asked John about these because they look different as juveniles and adults and he said he confirmed they are same species from the flowers. I believe they thought they had a new species at one point. You are lucky if you have the northern form as it seems much more rare in cultivation. Which would make sense because look how much effort it takes to see it in habitat where the southern is much easier to see and has a lot of flowering adults.

I was often wondering what was really the differences between D fibrosa and D crinita.

In Analava, we had chance to see both quite close. It was really instructive, because in fact the 2 species seem to have different type of fibrous, D fibrosa have long fibrous covering all the stem and falling when old, while D crinita seems to have shorter fibrous throught which we could see remains of the leaf bases (more or less like a trachycarpus).

The 2 species were confirmed by their inflorescences.

Dypsis fibrosa :
