A fine presentation, indeed! An epic tale of back country trekking, deforestation (alas) and finding marvelous new palms.

Actually an unnamed Dypsis I believe Dave, most closely resembling the palms sold by Jerry Anderson as Dypsis sp. malcomberi

Thanks for the opportunity to present some photos. It was a great day.

Dave that first photo of the orange trunk is Dypsis pilulifera. The second palm is just some unknown from the Andasibe area. The third is an unknown clumper from Antoetra south of Ambositra. I saw about 10 there and they all had the same coloration. One that needs to be in cultivation for sure.
