Thanks but they are most likely not C.tanga as I have never had seeds of these.

Probably not a Fijian species.

They look stretched a bit, therefore giving them an unique look. They resemble an Areca species.

Thanks Jeff.

Not like any other Areca I have grown before.

Any guesses ?

looks like a Salacca magnifica

Cause lies don't need an aero plane / To chase you anywhere

My first thought was Chamaedorea elatior since mine looked just like that before it started going pinnate. My collie dogs are about 75 pounds each standing underneath the palm for scale.IMG_2514.thumb.JPG.3b16c7186b7aa681113e1IMG_2513.thumb.JPG.79fdb3a4e3ba2cd22c88c

Not spines so no dice(I have seen spineless Salacca and that's not it either).

They do look like C.elatior but the leaf top  edges are different.

Also look somewhat like C. ernesti-augusti but they are longer leaves and not as broad.

Still a mystery.

sure are similarities to the suggestions but none are this species.

now i have planted a  few but just took the chance that they will  suit the site.

any other ideas would be appreciated

thanks, jim
