No Pivi. These seeds are about 4 times the size of Areca ipot.

Another clue: If it made tea for an elephant with this seed it wouldn't be very nice.

Nice Job Mark! It is Orania. I'm not positive of the species but it might be O. palindan. But since you said Orania and no one else did, you got it!

So what pic do you have for us? :drool:

Thanks Matty!

I'll have to take a pic and try and "Stump the chumps" myself! I have a cpl of Orania Ravakas that i sowed about 5 years ago. The seeds were very large but i remembered seeing a pic of Orania Areuinsis from the philipines that i tried to get and could'nt because they were very poisonous. The natives used them for darts, so that is why i took a shot at it w/ your seedling! Give me a little time to post my pic please!! I like this thread!!

Just a quick check on the monocot checklist and it appears that O. aruensis is not an accepted name but O. archboldiana is which is from New Guinea. O. palindan is from the Phillipines though.

checklist link

just fyi

M :blink: aybe I should have been more careful while handling the seeds.

this is a seedling of the Pheonix genus. mystery seedling I hope this link works!

I had seen the Orania Areuensis in an old palm book many years ago, it appears that the name has been changed!

The book was "Palms of the World".

Alright, I knew Matty's last one anyways, but figured it would be cheating since he gave me one of his. Since Mark is having technical trouble...here is a newer seedlign I'm excited about:

By the way Mark, if you have a photo in photobucket, just paste the link from the box next to your photo in photobucket that says "IMG Code" right into your message here.

What is it MattyB? Loxococcus Rupicola???

( I am referring to the one with the reddish leaf in post #50)

This is getting confusing.

Mark, Can you throw in a few clues on yours please. Is it a Dypsis?

My seedling is of the Pheonix family. It's a rare one though. That's another clue. I can give another clue but that would make it too easy!!!

I should have known as much. Then it has to be Phoenix theophrastii Cretan Date Palm right?

Gene is right on the one I posted: Loxococcos rupicola.

Well done Gene!

Matt, that Loxococcos rupicola is nice :mrlooney:

O.K. I'm going to have to be diplomatic here, because there are 2 simultaneous guessing games going on. Matt jumped in ahead of Mark, Gene guessed Matt's right, and Mark's entry ID is unresolved, so to be fair I'm going to wipe the board clean and post a new photo. Sorry about that Gene, but it's fairer to Mark as well.

OK - Here's an emerging seedling photo. That's what this game is about. Guess it right, and you have to post one of your own - so don't guess if you can't post!

Very well, i guess i can tell what the mystery seedling was. Pheonix Aucaulis. My next clue would've been that it's a clumping small variety of Pheonix.

Well done Mark, you're a gentleman! A clue for the latest picture - It's understorey.

Lexococos Rupicola was just a shot in the dark-- me luck schmuck on that one -- but I respect the game.

For this latest one I am guessing the Genus is Caryota and since you say its an understory palm the Species is either Zebrina or Ophiopellis????

Oh you are good Gene! If you've ever grown either one, you should be able to tell from the seeds in the photo which it is. I won't ask you, because you could equally guess right, so it is - Caryota ophiopellis. The seeds are much rounder than the zebrinas, which have the hallmark flat side to them. Well most, anyway. Congrats! Your turn to post!

I analysed it by looking at the leaves. At first i was guessing a Hyriestelle (which are mostly undertory palms) in particular the Cariosa species But I was thinking that the seeds of those were not that readily available. So the leaves looked like Fishtails too and the only small ones I know of that are considered understory palms are the Zebrina and Ophiopellis.

I am in the office now so I will post my seedling tonight when I get home.

OK. Am still at work but I don't want to keep you guys waiting.

The leaves of this seedling I think are distinctive enough to make this a fun item to guess.

This will eventually be a fan palm.

Mattyb- Nope, not Kerriodoxa. This palm does not come from my side of the world and actually is closer to where you are. Its suppose to be common and likes to grow near bodies of water. I've read that the seeds take about a year to germinate.

Ok, here's my next one.

Here's a close up on the seed and radicle habit. A bit of a clue.
