How about a clue?

OK, Dave, since you asked, it is a monotypic genus from the South Pacific. Few have been seen this size in Florida.

There are three monotypic genera in the South Pacific - Carpoxylon, Pelagodoxa and Sofia.

I'm going with Pelagodoxa henryana

Ken is definitely on the right track. It's not Ceroxylon, but a genus most closely related to it. With less then a handful mature trees like this one anywhere outside of its native habitat.

Chuniophoenix hainanensis

Thats a clumper no?

Yes, Chuniophoenix hainanensis is a clumping palm, but I don't think it starts clumping until it gets larger. Regardless, it is not that species.

Actually, the leaf bases are not split, and Schippia does not have a heel... so no.

I'm getting confused on what we're guessing on. If Alex's above is Ravenea then it's R. albicans.

I probably should've waited for Jody's to finish before posting minehuh.gif. Jody's is a Ravenea and he wants to know the species. Mine is not a Ravenea.

OK, so Alex's is Allagoptera caudescens?
