Coccothrinax species id

Recommended Posts

I was hoping someone might recognize the species of this still small Coccothrinax.  When I purchased it the label just read "Coccothrinax sp.".  I planted it at least a year ago if not longer and it seems to grow fine here.  Leaf tips appear to be arching downward and they are relatively rigid for the size of the plant.  A little bit of white on the backside of the leaf, but not extensive as you can see.  The leaf achieves a full 360 circumference.  What are your thoughts on a possible species?

Another one a little larger.I started these from seed about 15 years ago...

Pretty slow but steady growers under Arizona desert conditions.

Thank you!  It's been a pretty good grower here for me as well.  I looked up and this must have been pretty close to when I planted it, taken on 2/10/2018, so just 25 months ago.  I guess there are several forms of C miraguama, any idea which form yours are (e.g. var havanensis, roseocarpa, etc.)?

Seed was bought as 'miraguama'. That's good enough for me. :)

All sub species pretty much look the same.Differences are in flowers/seeds.
