Huge thank you and respect to the late Ray Baker for his endless work on planting and obtaining many of the rare palms of Lyon arboretum. A picture of his namesake Pritchardia Bakeri in habitat.

Probably one of the only fruiting Chambronia lepidota in cultivation, at the start of the path at Lyon.

no picture that you can even see the leaves, way up in the canopy. It could be novohibernica, there are a group of them

labeled as A. novohibernica by the waterfall at end of trail. But, much smaller and smaller stilts. These are big stilt roots. i'll

take a picture next time I go up there for you
