Please help to ID the palm. Couple years ago one of my colleges took several seeds from Mexico, the result is on the pictures above. Thank you in advance!

One more unknown palm. It was rooted from a cutting. I suppose that the parent plant was bought in a shop.

The first one is a tough ID at that size, but it looks like it doesn't have jagged edges to the leaflets which suggests it's not Veitchia, Ptychosperma etc. Maybe the green form of Hyophorbe indica?

Many thanks to all, who replied!

Now I know, who is the second palm:)

As for the first one, I didn't find the photo of its seeds, but as I remember, they were very similar to Queen palm seed, may be a bit bigger and the fruit was red.

One more picture of this palm, where edges are better seen.DSC_0032.thumb.JPG.3f7853c838d286f1054ac

I take back my original ID guess - I'd also guess something in the Veitchia/Adonidia group now with that leaflet detail.

Thank you for all answers!
I browsed photos of Veitchia and Adonidia, where found several pics of  Adonidia merrillii, which are very similar to my plant.
