Not Livistona.

Not Copernicia but Gene is in the right area of the world. That's your first hint.

I'll give credit for Genus only on this one because there's no way to differentiate between species at this young age. As far as I know.

No William, not Pseudophoenix.

The seed is a bit smaller than what you guys are seeing I think. It's only about 1/4" in diameter at the most.

Wild guess based on the color of the seed, and the fact that it looked smooth and round - Ceroxylon?

On second thoughts - oh, it's a tiny seed! Not Ceroxylon then.

Pivi gets it!!!!! Coccothrinax !!! Probably C. barbadensis or at least in that complex.

Congrats Pivi!! :) What do you have for us?

Here's a shot of the mother plant growing on the North Shore of Oahu. I harvested the seeds that had collected in some mongoose holes in the grass below

Lodoicea maldivica, the scientific name of the coco de mer.

Other botanical names used in the past include Lodoicea sechellarum Labill and Lodoicea sonneratii (Giseke) Baill.

Lodoicea maldivica? That beautiful rump archaically referred to as Lodoicea callypige? :mrlooney:

No Miss April, but if you find a way to get your hands on a few seeds for me I would be happy to pay a pretty penny for them.

Sorry Gene, nope!

Clue #2 - Palmate leaves

This is a tough one Will, I've never seen a seedling that looks even remotely similar to that.

Adonida Merrillii??? But I doubt it because this is way too common for someone who has a very selective/exotic taste in palms.

But then again this maybe your way of throwing us a red herring.... hmmmmmm

Boo Yea!!!!

OK, this is a hard one. It's a hybrid. Same genus though. The seed was round when I sowed it but it's sinced caved in a bit.

Here we go......

William, not a Butia cross.

It's not in the Dypsis family.

Stop being so negative about your abilities. Be the seedling grasshopper.

Dude, you got me stumped.. I just spent 20 minutes walking in the shadehouse and looking over every pot carefully... Round seed, remote germ, bifid 1st... I'm stumped! It has got to be a genus I don't have...

Nice effort William. It's not super rare or tropical so you may have it. Here's a clue maybe. One of these seeds came up quadfid for the first leaf. Don't know if that helps.

Oh, just remembered, the male contributor of this hybrid is also a remote germinator w/ bifid first leaf. Not sure how the female comes up because I've never grown one from seed.

Kai, when I said same genus before I meant it was an interspecific hybrid, not that it was another Schippia. It's not Schippia.

Pivi is right, Chamaedoreas, as far as I've seen are not remote geminators. This seed is too large for a chamaedorea too. It's about 1/2" in diameter. Come on let's hear some wild guesses and then I'll start throwing out some clues. Don't let the hybrid thing confuse you because it looks just like it's father so far.
