An Acromonia? I don't know for sure but am surprised that this palm is on what looks to be a sidewalk.

The leaf shape looks like Aiphanes, probably aculeata. Very weepy looking; a well grown one has one of the prettiest forms in palmdom..

I'm intrigued by the fact that the spines are present on the stem which is what remains after the leaf sheaths have fallen away. Do they start growing after the leaft is discarded? morphologically, how do these type of spines form - ?

on most spiny palms that i have seen the spines are present as the new leaf emerges,they just lay down flat & pop up as the spear emerges.

they form like any other part of a palm--the plants dna tells them to! :lol:

this is a beautiful palm,to be sure!

I do some experiments and learning in my garden with palms so you don't have to experience the pain! Look at my old threads to find various observations and tips!
