Cocothrinax argentata or barbadensis???

What do you think?  Need some opinions here.  The leaflets are lax and do not split at the tips.  I cut many tips off that were brown when I received  the plant but there is a new leaf opening.  It was purchased as alta which is now apparently synonym to barbadensis.  If anyone could give their opinion I'd appreciate it.

Looks like the faster growing barbadensis to me. Here’s a pic of some of my 3 gal C argentata’s. Although the one in first row on right could be a hybrid.

No shipping, most are 3 gallon size, plus this is Central Florida I price my palms to sell fast so I'm rid of everything before winter.

Yep. Barbadensis type for ID. Those leaflets are thicker than argentata,plus,no silver on the undersides of fronds.

Agree. Barbadensis. Argentata leaves are darker green, very lax with highly silvered undersides and yellow-orange hastula. Argentata grows glacially slowly compared to barbadensis
