Good job, Andrew. That's it.

Jody

Jody

Is it a clumper or not ?

Happy Gardening

Cheers,

Wal

Queensland, Australia.

Yes.

Jody

Since its not clustering tightly I gotta guess 'koban"? ^_^

Coral Gables, FL 8 miles North of Fairchild USDA Zone 10B

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

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 :)

Not like you can determine size from your photo... Attalea? I am totally guessing, at this point.
