He said it will be named Syagrus santosii, the seeds are very big...

A very atractive syagrus species, Gileno!

It grows at the side of a big river, so to see .Is it from the state Bahia?

The origin of the queen palm ranges from tropical to a subtropical climate colder than from Orlando in Florida.

I suspect that this Syagrus santosii is from tropical origin.

I trust your opinion. I assumed when South Brazil was brought up that is where the Queen is from. I was hoping that this new palm was close to as cold hardy as the queen.

From the photo, Syagrus santosii looks to be a very attractive palm. Since it comes from Bahia state it is most likely a tropical palm. Should do well in Hawaii. Gileno, when you get yours up and growing and producing seed, put me on the want list. With your begnign palm climate, my guess that would be in no time at all!

Hawaii Island (Big Island), leeward coast, 19 degrees N. latitude, south Kona mauka at approx. 380m (1,250 ft.) and about 1.6 km (1-mile) upslope from ocean.

 

No record of a hurricane passing over this island (yet!).  

Summer maximum rainfall - variable averaging 900-1150mm (35-45") - Perfect drainage on black volcanic rocky soil.  

Nice sunsets!

Thanks everyone,

I still don't know exactly what region is this palm endemic from...I'll have to ask my friends more details of this discovery.

The seeds are quite big, some 3-4 cm long, 2-3 cm wide, pointed.

I would say its maybe the prettiest syagrus I have seen, just stunning. The leaves are on a flat plane which makes it different than many syagrus. If it looks that good in habitat it will look even better in cultivation. I'm wondering how this species could go undiscovered for so long? I too would like some seed or a seedling from you if it becomes available.
