Palm ID

Been hiking in a remote leeward valley for the past 15 years.  A few years ago I began to notice some palms sprouting that in no way are native pritchardias.  There is one place in the valley where maybe 50  t o 75 years ago a rancher planted some Date palms.  At first I thought over the years heavy rains might have washed seeds down to where I'm seeing the seedlings.  But nope, these are not date palms, no sign of thorns.  Today I took a bunch of pictures of a few growing w/in 4 feet of each other.  What do ;you think?

 

I wonder if a few years ago someone walked the trail tossing seeds into the bush?  Boy would the environmentalists be pissed even thought there is just about not a single native plant in this low land section of the valley.

Concur.  Def has that dypsis look to it.  I don't know which one either though.  I'm not as familiar with the lesser common ones from that genus.

It almost looks like my red neck palms

It also looks a bit like oneocarpus minor

That would be such a rare palm here on the West Side that I doubt it.  Some kind of Dypsis sounds reasonable.  Seeds might be small enough for birds to spread, but would have to be a big bird.

Are there any royals in the area? I remember seeing young shaded royals near Nu’uanu Pali that looked a lot like that.

Not sure.  I'll look around next time I'm up high on a hike.
