That looks like the male staminate inflorescence, you need the female to make viable seed. These palms are dioecious. 

My male flowered regularly for years, and the female has finally started sending up pistillate inflorescences this year. 

I planted three Kerriodoxa, two were male and one female, so I got lucky.

Damn it is every palm dioecious LOL?nIts like getting anthuriums to seed. You need 2 blooms at the same time but at different stages of development

So, here ya go.....a few photos.

The first is the male staminate inflorescence which seems to come up close to the margins of the stem. 

The second photo is the female pistillate inflorescence which seems to be more intrafoliar and much smaller.

A few photos of the grouping of three and there is a shovel for scale in a couple of them. Quite an impressive palm.

A couple more photos of what the seeds will look like.  Ray, they will probably have seed, but they won't be viable.
