That Pinanga is gorgeous. It is interesting to see such a tropical palm in Rocky. But I guess it is under canopy... so probably quite moist and protected down there.

Brod, yes there are a few in the Bot Gdns there. The seed for the two largest plants came from the plants in Darwin BG many years ago. Unfortunately my photos of all the borassus weren't too good..

Here is a silhouette of the two largest ones...

The classic coconut angle and a Caryota makes a statement.
