This Dypsis has been in the ground now for about 4 years from a 1 gal. and was tagged as D. malcomberi. Looks nothing like 

photos I've seen of this palm and I'm sure somebody knows what it is. 

I posted a pic not too long ago and I think 'richnorm' made a comment about looking different than D. malcomberi. 

Anyway, it sure is beautiful with an interesting leaf arrangement.

Old school jurrasic park/pilulifera. Palm pedia has a section with this palm.. I have seen it under several names, but there are so few It's hard to say which name it goes under.. even the "alfreda betafaka"..

Way cool palm! I always referred to them as having "deck of cards" leaves... like when someone fans out cards to say "pick one".

I do some experiments and learning in my garden with palms so you don't have to experience the pain! Look at my old threads to find various observations and tips!

I had a chance to go through previous thread about this palm, ( I even post a comment or two and forgot ), and checked out Palmpedia. This is one beautiful palm from the reference photos.

Whoo hoo!

You appear to be amassing a pretty nice collection there Chris!.. Be sure to study up around Palm Talk before planting... Many of the heeled Dypsis are slow and persnickety.

Yes I have definetly gotten lucky with my finds lately. And all at exceptional prices as well. Most of my dypsis that I have planted have done fairly well for my inland area. I have robusta , carlsmithii , pembana , onilahensis , decipiens , cabadae and teddys bears in the ground all have done very well through last winter and this summer so far a little bit of leaf burn this week on a few that are full sun. My temps this week have been 107 to 114 all week In the hottest time of the day so I expect a little burn. I think so far my hardiest has been robusta .

You have a gem on your hands whatever this ultimately is called.  I love the "pick a card", as Bill describes it, leaflet arrangement.  Fantastic color too, looks like the newly opening leaf has a hint of pink/orange to the green color.

Aloha Guys,

An update.....most definitely. I happened to catch a new leaf opening and couldn't help snapping a few photos. The color is a bronze/orange and the leaflets are so lush and full. A bright future this one has if it stays healthy.

Hahah You should put that update here, this is the "malcomberi that isn't" thread, just like yours. The other is "the malcomberi that is" thread..lol

Ok here you go i planted this guy out right at the beginning of winter because im crazy like that . I figured if it don't make it through winter it ain't for me even a mild winter. It was Hawaiian greenhouse grown I'm sure it was pretty stretched and lanky. Most of those leafs fried . But it pushed a new spear slowly through winter and about a month ago it opened a new one. It got a little burned through the last couple weeks but i've had some

pretty hot 90 plus degree days and it has zero shade in full inland so cal sun. Not bad if I do say so myself. It's funny others told

me it would for sure croak !
