I have never seen a Satakentia with black crownshaft …

Whatever we call the color, they are luscious palms! I think of them as sort of chocolate, but your photo shows some red and purple, very colorful.

That is how all Satakentias look over here - and we have got quite a few on this island - but with a black crownshaft... I don`t recall have ever seeing such one so far.

However, a wonderful species!
