I’ve had the palm about a month and haven’t been able to figure it out for sure through my own research. Confident someone on here will be able to identify it easily. Thanks!6DFE90F9-80B5-4309-8B06-042086894B9F.thumb.jpeg.0e5dcfe0b164568a400c14969b5d564a.jpeg

Not so easy at that size. Looks like the leaf undersides are green.

They all look so much alike at that age.  Might have to wait til it flowers.  I have 7 in the ground and I believe 6 are named wrong but still looking GREAT.

The most common ones for sale near your area are pritchardia hillebrandii   which is a very attractive palm. Yours looks great so far does it have any white on the underside of the fronds on the ribbed part? A picture of the bottom of the fronds might help .

I will chime in to say that the leaves are pretty flat, but that could very well be because its so young. A couple "flat leaf with green undersides" possibilities are beccariana & shattaueri. Like Mike & Steve said, small Pritchardias are a challenge to ID.

Like everyone else has said, it's super hard to ID Pritchardias at this age, though I'm leaning towards P. beccariana at this stage. It'll be a bit easier to tell once it gets larger though.
