Licuala longipes or L. spinosa? It was acquired in 2004 at a South FL sale. Licuala longipes is supposed to be solitaire and trunkless. I have seen a couple others in FL also marked as L. longipes that look like this. Did some misidentified seed get distributed years ago? This is growing at Leu Gardens.

Looks more like Longipes to me. Spinosa often has the lighter color but also there is more unevenness in the leaflets that vary in width along their length, IMO.

Very nice specimen. Looks great.
