Even though the leaves look a bit close together compared to my L.rotundifolia, it has the black spines, exactly like my rotundifolias. Hope this helps a bit.

    Kostas, according to the Kew site L. jenkinsiana is an accepted name. L. robinsoniana is a synonym of L. rotundifolia.

    This is very interesting! My impression was that L. rotundifolia and L. robinsonia were distinct.

    Thanks Jeffsmilie.gif

    I remember these 2 were merged lately but i dont know what used to distinguish them...Its always interesting to know that as many times the former species merged do have notable differences.

    ''To try,is to risk failure.......To not try,is to guarantee it''

    L robinsoniana is unarmed while L rotundifolia is armed, at least that's what the books say. Also L robinsoniana reportedly is more cold tolerant than L rotundifolia. Years back I ordered L robinsoniana seed and ended up with seedlings with spines. I just assumed they were L rotundifolia and I got the wrong seeds by mistake. Was I wrong to assume that?

    Best regards

    I was always told they were different species too. But there were supposedly 2 varieties of rotundifolia...from different parts of the philipines. One is supposed to be more cold tolerant than the other. Something for sale as L.robinsoniana I have never been able to find.

    This thread is becoming intreasting...But in the Rps site we can find 2 of these above discussed seeds..

    http://www.rarepalms...op/LivRot.shtml

    http://www.rarepalms...op/LivJen.shtml

    Now what do you say about this 2 varities...By the way if one is a livistonia fan,then that person should collect all the 3 discussed varities...:hmm:

    Same is the case with Corypha Macropoda,It has been branded as variety belonging to the C.Utan and not a seperate entity.While once sees a C.Macropoda you will know what iam talking about.And if a serious collector of palms sees it,i know what the effect will be ! :winkie:
