those seeds should be dried out and empty , double check though they do contain a powerful poison

Are the petioles armed (with thorns)?  Then it might be Livistona, but the photograph reminds me of Carludovica palmata,(no thorns)   A more detailed photograph would help. :)

I'm pretty sure this is Livistona rotundifolia. If you image search on google you can ever find pics of this palm with those same seeds in the pot.

The palm is Saribus rotundifolius but the dry seeds are some apocynaceae shrub species, of which srilankans traditionally do the best poison for committing suicide. Sorry!

Yes, L. rotundifolius seeds look nothing like that, so those are nothing to do with the palm.  I can buy that it is rotundifolius instead of chinensis however!

Cerbera odollam is a dicotyledonous angiosperm, a plant species in the Family Apocynaceae and commonly known as the suicide tree, pong-pong, and othalanga. It is a species native to India and other parts of southern Asia, growing preferentially in coastal salt swamps and in marshy areas but also grown as a hedge plant between home compounds. It yields a potent poison that has been used for suicide and murder.

Sorry, I forgot murders

I have seen these palms in the same style pots, with the same seed pods, in garden centres here & they are indeed Saribus rotundifolius (formerly known as Livistona rotundifolia). Not really suited to growing indoors as they require lots of humidity...

Sorry, I had a couple of days without the internet. Now I'm home again. Thanks everybody. The new picture is my own palm. Saribus rotundifolius, for sure. Is it the same as in the picture, which I asked? My palmn leaves are 360 degrees round leaves. Is it still the same palm?
