OK after Len's beauty, here's a beast. About 18 inches across at the base and just getting started.

Parajubaea cocoides?

Alex, Livistona?

Rich, pinata?

Right genus, well done. But pinnata is probably way too tropical for us. This one suckers, care to guess again?

Lowey, the second one is Iriartea deltoidea. I saw lots of those in Panama in all sizes, including some with 6-8 foot stilt roots.

The clumpers are on my S list so I am not guessing. They do smell good in bloom....right before the stem DIES!

Alex, not a Sabal ,not a Livistona, and not a Washingtonia??? What else has a trunk like that--not Neoveitchia??? That doesn't look like a Cocos...

No you are all wrong so far but here's a hint. The vertical skinny multicoloured thing in the middle of the picture is its trunk. Bruce is the one with the round leaf a drymophleus species ? Rich it looks like arenga australasica to me.

Peachy, it looked like a red fence to me... :blink:

1/ its not a fence, its the battens between the outer walls of the house and the ground. (my house is elevated)

2/ its mahogany not red

3/ the trunk in question is in front of the battens

:angry:

The specimen in the photo is the only one in that entire genus that I have ever seen in cultivation with a clear trunk. Only In habitat photos of older palms. It's also the only trunking specimen of that particular species that I've seen in cultivation. So it's possibly a characteristic of the species (just an observation though) to have a clear trunk when relatively young.

I on my iPhone now, but will upload a complete image from the hotel tonight

Hey, Alex, you wouldn't happen to be talking about Allagoptera (Polyandrococos) caudescens, would you? That was my first thought when I saw the photo for the first time.

I'm lost. This is the funnest, messiest, most confusing, palm slinging thread ever! Just like it was meant to be. :lol: It's got legs though man you've gotta admit that.
