Can't tell the size of the palm from those photos. Has a look of Slick Willy / Bef but that inflorescence is huge.

bef puts out large inflorescences but the rachillae seem different... the seed and everything else (minus the solitary form) appear to be a match

Thank's guys, here's another pic with a SUV for scale.

My guess would be bef/Slick Willy.  Really should have a botanical name by now!

There are several palms growing together and all are single trunk, is that common?   would like to sell the seeds and having a name would help.

Its a frustrating thing with a lot of Dypsis this lack names thing and being shifted back and forth.

I got seeds from Ortanique just before they went out of business of something called Dypsis 'anevaka' or 'andevakaka' or something close to that.  Looks just like these palms, and is very close to slick willy/bef except that they all turned out to be singles as far as I know and maybe a faster grower.  I'll try to post a photo of mine later.  If the palms in the photo are in a very tropical environment, I think they could be the same age as mine, which has a couple feet of trunk grown in SoCal.

Thanks Matt pics would be great... yes very tropical, tree is growing in far north Queensland.

Let's see if I can post photos from my phone

[DUNDEE]

Damn that looks close ...  guess you dont have a pic of the seeds from back then?

[Matt in SD]

No, definitely not.  But I don't remember anything unusual about them, the ones in your photo can't be much different than what these looked like.

Some Dypsis are named for the village from where they are found.. could the name have been Andavadoaka instead of andevakaka ?
