Ron,

I assumed Wal was asking about the palm in the newest photo clumping or not. Andrew correctly guessed Rhapis on the last one.

Jody--Cabada?

Excellent (and correct) guess, Andrew! Most cabadas are not large enough to have that nondescript look to the base, but this particular specimen is 30+ feet tall with individual stems around 6" in diameter. It was so large and in such dense overgrowth that I could not get a photo of the entire palm.

I actually didn't even realize it was a clumping palm till Wal mentioned it--then I thought I knew what it was :)
