STEVE IN SO CAL

Recommended Posts

I posted this pic before looking far a Livistona ID. Last night I was looking at RLR's book, and came across a pic of Th. Excelsa on page 227...looks like Elvis pushing the doorbell (a dead ringer) for my plant....

Thrinax don't like cold, and this palm HATES our winters. Every year it looks like it will die, then comes roaring back with warm weather.

If global warming means I can grow Cocos Nucifera, then bring it on....

Is there a slight silver color to the underside of the leaf? Also if you look at the leaf base, the part that wraps around the trunk, in good light, do you see a pink color?

That would be my key for excelsa.

The underside is definately glaucus...similar to my Sabal Mauritiaformis. I can't see where the leaf base attaches due to heavy fiberous matting...

Steve,

    Thrinax excelsa are not armed, so your palm is not this. I'm leaning towards Livistona, but can't think of a species with a silvery underside. It's late here, and my brain is wearing down. Uhmmmmm, got to think, got to think.

I feel like I say this all the time, but it looks like Livistona nasmophyla. The fiber and petioles match, but I am not sure about the silvery underside. I will have to go out and check mine, if that is even what it is!

The only thing that makes me say no to the Nasmophla idea is that mine doesn't have the deeply divided leaves. Maybe it's just because it's still a juvenile plant ???
