This is what I would term an old school genus frequently overlooked in South Florida. My brother-in-law had a 30 footer that was lost when his helpers over trimmed it, apparently treating it like an ordinary Sabal. I have a great deal of difficulty determining which variety (Latania loddigessii, Latania lontaroides or Lantania verschaffeltii) I am viewing when I happened by a specimen. I attempted to take a number of pictures from various directions and would greatly appreciate the board's expertise in identification.

A friend of mine sent me this picture of the best red he has ever seen. Pretty impressive.

I have all 3. No trouble distinguishing the yellow Latan. Leaves are light green and petioles are vibrant yellow-gold. Blue Latans are by far the most common species. Red and yellow are much harder to find. I've seen a number of blues used as boulevard palms over in Ft. Myers. Never seen red or yellows outside of my yard.
