Could it be Ptycho propinquum?

Got this from a friend as Ptychosperma (didn’t know species). Planted it right away, 2 hurricanes later it looked terrible. Finally it has a few leaves and some suckers, and can now be identified (if not a hybrid). I have noticed it has an unusual leaflet staggered, with a big notch at end. Does not have the usual large two terminal leaves indicative of Ptychos. I was beginning to think it wasn’t a Ptycho at all. New leaves are faint reddish. After looking on Palmpedia I’m thinking P. Propinquum, anyone have one who can confirm?

This is my P.propinquum. They do look very similar. Mine is in almost full sun and is almost beach front, so very salt tolerant.

Mine is about 14 years from seed and is 3.5 meters tall. It has only developed two trunks.
