Miami palm ID please

[beliz1985]

I took a Google street view screenshot of somewhere around Miami, Fl, was wondering what the palm on the right was. The left's definitely Solitaire palm, the right? 

Any ideas? 

Sorry for the pic quality

Thanks

Looks like aiphanes minima, I cannot see any spines on that though..

Both the smaller palms are Ptychosperma elegans. They may or may not have been planted by a bird-category 2 invasive.

And what a wonderful "invasive" species we invasive humans are forced to live with... Down here in the Keys the seeds sprout at the base of mature trees but most never seem to make it out of the juvenile stage, for us that may be partially from deer browsing but I can never figure why those seedlings rarely develop fully into mature plants. They just seem to peter out here. I think along the southeast coast of the peninsula where you have lots of rain they might have the opportunity to become something more of a nuisance. In any event they are wonderful for providing fruit for our native birds, and many survived in our narrow Cat5-ish area of Big Pine, so there are no complaints. The White-crowned pigeon loves to perch on the infructescences and eat them. It is one of the few plants we have here that are in fruit after the hurricane obliterated our local landscape. Unfortunately right now those noisy grackles are on our one fruiting tree, chowing down.

Yep, those tasty seeds are why it's a class 2. On the mainland, they sprout up to a fruiting tree in as little as 4 years.

It hasn't invaded Mexico yet LOL

Better plant invasion than human hahah

We have a double in the back yard. Pretty palms but they drop fruit all over. This spring we cut that short with a pole saw. We've also pole-sawed inflorescenses from Archo maxima, Adonidias, Dypsis lutescens, Veitchia joannis, arecina & spiralis, various Sabals, Chamaedoreas, Coccothrinax & Hyophorbes. Bounties of seeds no one wants to eliminate volunteer seedlings I don't have time & energy to pull up.
