I'm not sure I understand the variation.............relaxed leaflets? We got some of those around here (one in particular that is way different) but none are in seed now.

How many others would be interested if I got some seed?

David,

The Lax Leaf variety has relaxed leaflets. Instead of holding the leaflets up in a V-shape, the leaflets start out angling upward for a very short distance flatten out, then droop at the ends. I actualy have one that does that with it's older fronds, but not the newest ones.

Got any pictures of the ones in your area?
