Thanks for bumping this topic, Ken. Here is a shot that I just took yesterday. Not too many people get to see this in person.

Matty is so good its scary but no where near as scary as Jody's next guess. Man that thing is weird. What is this a Halloween joke?

No joke, Ken... come by the nursery and see it for yourself!

I'm on to educated guesses now... Orania? That burlap on the petiole base looks a lot like an Arenga...

I wasn't guessing Arenga but now I don't have to... time to pull out the shotgun: Syagrus, Butia, Attalea, Beccariophoenix? :hmm:

HINT: I already mentioned that the palm in question is rarely seen in cultivation large enough to flower (at least in the continental US), but I will go ahead and provide another hint -- which is that this is also one of the few palms with entire pinnate leaves.

I would have NEVER guessed that--and I just got back from a friend's house to check on the one I planted for him! Jody, is it in a pot? What's the sun exposure on it?

Let me try to be a Sherlock Holmes here. You said "close" to both C. boschiana and C. montana. What do they have in common? They are both endemic to the island of Hispaniola. Well if that's true, then I know where to look. But wait - there are 9 species of Coccothrinax native to Hispaniola and 8 of them are endemic. So now with some help from the Google Image Search I am going to declare this a Coccothrinax ekmanii! How did I do Jody?

That was some excellent deductive reasoning there, Alex! You are correct that this species is from Hispaniola, and it is, in fact, endemic. But it is not C. ekmanii.
