Well, it's definitely a Ptychosperma spp.  But it's really impossible to know with very little to go on. Knowing what color the fruit are will rule out certain species and being clumping we can rule out the solitary species. A good start would be P. macarthuri.

It's smaller in stature than any P. mac I've seen.

Leaflets are also much finer and deeper green.

Fruit is small, about 3/8", oval'ish, dark purplish black with a little fine point at the apex.

Oh how lovely! I'm curious too! Have you tried posting it on the IPS Facebook group?

Naples (inland), FL - technically 10a but more like 9b in the winter :hmm:

Hi everyone! Can I get some help identifying this species of clustering PTYCHOSPERMA ?

Dave Kinzie, Miami Florida: Can you advise us if you have phytosanitary certification from the Florida Department of Agriculture to ship live palms, whether plants or seeds, to California destinations? Your eBay website   https://www.ebay.com/usr/lets-grow-florida doesn't state that in any detail, but just says "Buyer assumes all risk due to state agricultural regulations and bare root shipping." If you are not phyto-certified, then California buyers should be alerted their purchases from you could potentially be rejected by agricultural inspectors.
