[Tracy]

I acquired this as Dypsis crinita, but a more knowledgeable friend advised that its more likely Dypsis utilis which was being circulated in the region about the time I got mine.  So let's just say one of the Dypsis from the Vonitra complex.  I took the picture yesterday, so it was ready to post when you put up the subject Steve and a little different than some of the ones you posted.

[Steve Mac]

 

They are not all pretty  Rhapis exelsa

Kentia

Chambeyronia hookeri

Ch. sartorii

No prizes for seeing this Phoenix robellini

I don't know what this is, I think a fat Chamaedoria maybe linearus, I'll do another thread on this one to tie it down.

Areca vestiaria

What else could this be but Ch. woodsoniana, magnificent in it's own way. 

[Steve Mac]

 

Hyophorbe indica

Ch. plumosa

Dypsis rosea

more Ch. plumosa

Ch. klotzschiana

Young Dypsis leptocheilos in heavy shade very slow

Syagrus weddellianum, that dead stuff needs cleaning off, it has ants under it

The late Richard Douglas, past president (1980's) of the IPS, with one of his favorite Jubaea palms.

 

[Tracy]

Three kind of unusual looking trunks:

Dypsis onilahensis that has split above ground a few times (front right did a three way split)

Coccothrinax borhidiana hybrid which sprouted a side trunk and the old trunk grew at a right angle to it, and a third trunk emerging from the base or possibly a different plant.

Gaussia princeps with it's Bulging Base..

[Tracy]

Decorated trunks:

Pritchardia beccariana trunk with a little Epidendrum nanodes and Tillandsia

Pritchardia maideniana  with Eppidendrum falcata, Tillandsia and a Laelia Anceps (mini dawsonii) trying to get started between old leaf bases

Arcontophoenix cunninghamiana with a transplanted Laelia trying to get started (I cut down the Archonto this Laelia had been living on so had to transplant it to this one).

[Tracy]

Clumped trunks

Dypsis lanceolata

Dypsis lanceolata (narrow trunk form with pink hued emergent leaves)

Dypsis decipiens with a prominent heel

Dypsis pembana with only a pair of trunks

[Tracy]

Last batch is a dozen..... how many of the 12 can you get right?  Some are easy, while others might be a little more challenging but you should be able to identify the genus on all of them even if you aren't sure about the species of a few.

Livistona mariae just dumped its boots all over but left a pretty bare trunk.

Bare, yes, but I like the nice striping on it Steve.  Looks like it is also hosting a friend on the other side of the trunk too.  Was that there before it lost it's boots and you had to reattach or a new trunk "guest"?

Good eye. I cant let a bare trunk be without a epi friend for long. I mounted a few cattleyas and a tilly on it earlier that day.
