I bought this palm 2-3 years ago from Bunning Warehouse as oneof my palms under normal Triangle palm,

I put it in ground few months after, it was always slow but happy ...but I could never see it like other established D.Decaryi ones, I thought it might be young yet, but few days ago I noticed similar texture of the Crownshaft of this palm and my D. Lepto and then I though is it possible I have a cross  decaryi x leptochelios,?

Looks like a decaryi to me and not the hybrid.

True, just got a nice size tribear and the fronds are much more relaxed than the decaryi and not so much of a V shape. But maybe yours does have a bit of teddy bear in it, but it certianly looks different than my tribear.

I'm no expert, but that looks like a tri-bear to me.  The pure decaryi usually has a little fuzz and reddish color in the crown, but not that much.  Also, decaryis tend to have a more gray-green leaf, not as deep green as yours.  

Whatever it is, its a nice looking palm!

I have seen exceptionally fuzzy and lush decaryi when greenhouse grown.

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!

Thanks, its been in full sun in ground since 30 months ago , so all new fronds are grown in open area, whatever it is its nice, but would be interesting how the huge department store Bunnigs got them if its hybrid...

Regular decaryii. Color is wrong for the cross. Mine gets quite fuzzy as well.

Looks like straight D decaryi to me Mohsen. As others have mentioned, they are highly variable and can have quite a lot of fuzz, but the colour and V shape of the leaves are decaryi traits.
