Hi All,

This palm has self seeded in garden. Do not have any mature palms around besides golden cane.

Any idea what this is? Prob from fruit bat.

Cheers.

I like wallichia better. But maybe not disticha. How about Wallichia Marianne? W. gracilis, W. lidiae,  or W. caryotoides seem like strong contestants as well.

In Brisbane it's very likely Caryota mitis.

Pretty unlikely to have seeding Wallichia locally.

Thanks all, 

I do not have too much experience with Caryota. I guess if its not easy to identify based on comments at this stage, can let it grow more.

Took a couple more photos just now.

I buy that. If you hear hooves, don't run out expecting zebras...or unicorns.
