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!

The leaf bases look cocoid to me, I'm thinking the colour is a bit of a trick. Wild guess - Parajubaea

It's neither a Lemur or Parajubaea but thanks for having a go. Here is another photo which could give the game away to the eagle-eyed.

Chamaerops maybe? I think I see a spine and because it spreads verically to the petiole the specimen is most probably var cerifera...

Ding ding ding we have a winner (well two). Congrats to Konstantinos and TCHPs. This in fact the base of Chamaerops humilis var argentata (aka Cerifera). Never noticed the nice base colour until a recent repot revealed all. Thanks all for playing.
