Chuniophoenix nana

I just acquired a plant labeled "Chuniophoenix nana". It is a small palm, that was poorly taken care of and yellow. I'm pretty sure the reason it looks sad is lack of water, so it should be easy to bring it back to life.

My question is, "Do Chuniophoenix nana have a heal"? This palm has a definite heal. Many palms were mislabeled at the nursery that I bought it from so I am unsure. It appears to have the form of Chuniophoenix nana, I just could not find any pictures on the internet of the base of one.

Maybe a picture will help,

Here is a pic of the heel (not heal like that dummy misspelled above)

Yep, it's ID'd right.

Shade is best, and, like most palms from south China, much much tougher in the cold than you might think.

I've got two, and they rock like Bob Seger, with or without the SB Band . . . .

I sure don't recall mine having a heal like that (I will have to go out and look tomorrow).. that could just as easily be a small Sabal mauritiiformis.

Thank you for the confirmation Dave, any pics of your two?

I dug around all my Chuniophoenix pretty carefully... even the hainensis don't have heals. Pretty sure that's a Sabal... looked at Sabal seelings and chuniphoenix leaves... and almost identical

I am growing them as understory under Livistona and Tracfhycarpus The shade helps the green color

It's a Chuniophoenix. My small C. hainanensis looks just like that and has a big heel.
