Did this one get its name changed to euterpe edulis 'orange crownshaft'? Or is there a separate orange crownshaft euterpe?

I have both, and as far as I know, E. catinga and Euturpe edulis 'Orange Crownshaft" are two similar but different palms. But as everything these days - subject to change.

They are both so beautiful but I personally love catinga the best. The pic is catinga seedlings from a friends tree

I was looking at some palpedia pics and descriptions and the only definite difference I could see was the black spots "adpressed scales on the proximal petioles--on catingas.

Yes - I seem to remember that as one of the distinquishing features.
