I was at a local Big Box store Friday, wandering through the garden center when I came upon some pinnate palm triples jammed into 6" azalea pots. I haven't seen palms quite like this in my area, and, of course, the blankety-blank nursery that wholesaled them IDed them only as "foliage".

The fronds are dark green and somewhat leathery. They have several prominent yellow "veins" in the pinnae. The stems are dark chocolate brown, as are the petioles, except newer petioles are yellow. I bought this one and repotted it in 3g and keep it in shade as the store had them under shadecloth. They are most handsome little palms but I have no clue what they are. Help, please.

Would you be satisfied with just Dypsis? The stems look that way...

Meg, this doesn't look like any of your D. Lanceolatas?

Andrew beat me to it. I got to thinking over the past several hours:

Could these be Dypsis lanceolata? The chocolate brown stems resemble those of my larger D.l. On the other hand my D. cabadae shows more blue/green in its stems. Anyone?

It looked like my small lanceolata--baby cabadaes are pinkish red and the baby lance is usually brown like in your photos. The leaf/leaflet looks about right too; wider than a cabadae.

They remind me of Dypsis cabadae when seedlings. Also, Dypsis pembana has a redish seedling form. I'll have to defer to Florida guys because I don't know how they look over there. Subtle differences.
