Hello everyone!

I have some more palms that the label has completely worn away.  These were from seed and I have narrowed it down to the possible options below.  Any assistance would be greatly appreciated as always.

Possible options

Areca macrocaylx "red"

Areca vestiaria orange clumping

Pinanga coronata var. 'kuhlii'

Verschaffeltia splendeda

Marojejya darianii

Dypsis SP baby red stem

But the angle of the bifid leaf. Its more obtuse like pinanga, to me. So I'm changing my vote for pinanga coranata, and that kuhili var. Looks like the angle is wider.

I can take more photos if that would be helpful 

Looks like the seed is visible and a close-up of it might help, yes.

The seed is for sure areca. Macrocalyx sprouts green and stay green till about a 1gallon size while vestiarea will have a tad of color

Yeah I agree. P. Coronata seeds are fatter, though otherwise have similar shape and fibers. Thanks for clarifying that, John. I guess Macrocalyx it must be.
