Could This Be Veitchia Joannis?

Recommended Posts

This was purchased about 10 years ago as a Joannis but I really don’t have any experience with these. It was a triple but has died down to a single. The seeds seem to be considerably larger than the mystery Veitchia seeds that I planted about 5-6 years ago. Also, the crown shaft coloration seems more yellowish than the others. The last picture is the mystery variety which has not produced any seeds yet.

No, it looks like arecina to me.  The amount of fuzz & the silvery crownshaft are what give it away.  Not that there are many Veitchias out this way, but joannis seems to carry the fur right up the petiole.

Are you referring to the last picture? That is not what I believe to be Joannis. It would be the first 4 pictures. They are clearly different to me but I don’t have experience to identify what is what.

I'm not an expert on these, but I do have an arecina in the garden with some size, which looks near identical. That would be my best guess. Beautiful palm though, whichever one it is.
