And now this little multi-stemmed Chamaedorea... Not a very good shot, sorry.

The first looks like Geonoma undata. Would need flower/fruit shot to be sure.

The second looks like Cham pinnatifrons but I thought it was solitary. I've never seen it clump.

Steve, thanks! I didn't take any photos of the Chamaedorea (and there were plenty of those) but did take a few Geonoma shots. Probably not adding anything of value, but here they are.

pinnatifrons is one of the most widespread species seen at this altitude. hope you grabbed the seed regardless. Great group planting
