Coco de mer (triple)

[david100]

I have a section from a triple segment coco de mer.

I cannot seem to find anything about it on the internet.

Can anyone help me and point me in the right direction?

Not sure I understand the question. Are you talking about Lodoicea maldivica? A section from a triple segment?

Are you talking about the seed, or another part?  Can you post a photo?

Not only 3-lobed seed, but also »4-lobed and 6-lobed seeds have been recorded.« (J. C. McCurrach 1960: Palms of the World)

Expand  

Google »lodoicea triple« and you have all information you needed.

Yes, I'm talking about a triple lobed seed.

What is the name? Is it rare?

I have only the informations posted already above (with photo in the article by G. Mazza); also in Genera Palmarum you can read only »one to three 2-lobed, thick, hard pyrenes«, but nothing about how rare the triple one might be. I believe that it doesn’t occur too often.
