Ken, I was looking at the Caribbean palms in GP2 and thought it looked similar. I don't think I've ever seen one in person. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sarasota alex 269 Report post Posted October 1, 2011 Calyptronoma? Care to guess a species, Alex? Jody Well, the picture I used to identify was a C. rivalis. But I just googled it and it looks more like a C. plumeriana Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ken Johnson 199 Report post Posted October 1, 2011 Jody, why don't we see more of those in cultivation? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
virtualpalm 65 Report post Posted October 1, 2011 Well, the picture I used to identify was a C. rivalis. Yes. We have some in the landscape at the nursery, but I honestly don't know why it is not more widely used, Ken. It is a very nice palm. Jody Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
