I've always considered Gaussia princeps to be the other "bottle palm". That's a nice Pseudophoenix though!

Gaussia princeps can be somewhat bottle-shaped when they're young, but they grow out of it. Below are some local specimens.

That pseudophoenix in the first post is a great looking palm, which species is it?

We don't get many pseudophoenix around here but the odd sargentii. Is this one a chubby sargentii??

Yes, it is P. sargentii.
