National Champion Leucothrinax morrisii

At a height of 24 feet, the Leucothrinax morrisii growing in the Palm Glade section of Fairchild is the national champion. 

Here's the Champion tree database's info sheet on the palm:

Here's the palm itself. Even after seeing thousands of these in the wild on Big Pine Key, this one definitely makes an impression due to it's height.
