All,

I ran across this while nursery hopping yesterday (does this qualify as a PRA?).

There were a couple of these available and the identfication was spotty.

Please help

Looks like C. oblongata to me. I have one in the ground about that size.

That was going to be my guess also, Ch. oblongata.

My guess would be Oblongata as well....The price tag is a bit small, but does say "$129.00"?

Actually, it is only $125.00. But this nursery has a real upscale attitude......and it is 20% off, too!

There are three palms in the pot.

Out of my realm of reality to pay so much for a marginal palm.

Thanks to everyone for the help.
