What kind of Palm?

[Vincentoz]

Hello all,

I have this palm here and i dont know what kind off palm it is.

I hope someone knows what kind it is, and maybe the common name of it.

Here are 3 pictures of 1 smal one and 1 bigger one:

I thought maybe a Corypha sp. but im just guessing.

Looks like Sabal causiarum to me...

I agree with BS, Sabal causiarum showing those ligules.

i have a sabal very similiar to that one,its getting huuuuuge.

I agree S. causiarum. I believe we identified Paul's as S. dominguensis and it's larger and more impressive than a Bizmarckia in my opinion.

This resembles photos I have seen of a species called Sabal bermudana.

It certainly looks like a Sabal. The coloring and leaf segments make me think it's a Sabal mauritiiformis, here's a photo to compare with and see what it will grow into:

If it's a S. causiarum it'll look like this:

These trees are quite an attention grabber and exciting to watch grow up. Good luck with yours.

I agree, Sabal causiarum. It is the only Sabal with large papery ligules like in the picture. S. maritima has smaller ligules but has tan scales covering large areas of the leaf-bases. S. causiarum does not have these scales, and neither do these pictures.

Anyone know what princeps looks like? It may be synonomus with causiarum. Check it out, this may be it.

Btw it drives me crazy when you cut off the lower fronds.
