I love the markings on the crown when the new leaf sheath is exposed. They do look alike but subtle differences. Good luck on your seed, It will be worth the wait

Never heard of that Palm. That is awesome your patience has been rewarded. Hopefully continues to grow strong. :)

The only info I found was in this article: https://www.kew.org/read-and-watch/new-kew-discoveries-2018

It states in the "Giant Palm" section that, "Lemurophoenix laevis, a massive palm described by Kew researchers John Dransfield and Jeff Marcus, is known only from three plants in gardens in Hawaii and North Australia, grown from seed collected in Madagascar eighteen years ago. It is a mystery since it is still unknown in the wild in its country of origin."

(Where: bh = bottom heat, fs = fresh seed, L = love, m = magic, p = patience, and t = time)

Here are 2 more pics. I wish a leaf sheath would have fallen off but you can kinda see the pattern. Pic taken at florabunda

20220511_065051.jpgHow was that grown? Light and heat wise looks to be on its 4th leaf or so? seems to be on a patio maybe? Very very cool!

Jubaeaman.

Thanks.

This is leaf #1. It has been inside a baggy in a mostly shaded, warm spot behind glass.

"Looks to be on its 4th leaf or so"... 

I see what you are referring to Jubaeaman138. The first two layers were more like sleeves. I haven't seen many palm seedlings that start like that and I'm curious which ones do this.

I have a suspicion that my supposed laevis are really halleuxii. 

They have  a lot of red in them.
