I spotted this palm at an industrial estate near my place a few days ago.  At first, I thought it looked a little different to the regular Bangalow or Alexanders normally be planted in such a location.  I've driven down this street hundreds of times but never noticed this palm before, even so, I suspect this is an old palm - probably 30 years old but planted in fairly poor clay soil.  But it still looks quite healthy all the same.     To me, it looks like a Burritiokentia Hapala but I could be wrong.  

What do fellow Palmtalkers think it is????
