My daughter spotted these this morning in palm beach gardens, neither of us has a clue. I'd guess some sort of Dypsis?

I could be wrong, but it looks more like Satakentia liukiuensis to me.

Was thinking the same thing.. or perhaps a Dictyosperma, maybe D. album?  ..Nice specimens regardless..

Looking closer at the crownshaft and the leaflets, I'd say you're both correct.

Trunks seem really chunky for Dictyosperma album. Mine at least are pretty thin,

For comparison, here are both the Satakentia and Dictyosperma in Kopsick's collection.

Satakentia liukiuensis.. Agree with the " Has a more colorful Crownshaft / leaf scars on the trunk, and the "coco-nutty, or Kentia- esque " look to the fronds..
