This was a palm with no visible tag which reminded me of my Kerriodoxa elegans which didn't make it.  It was growing in a full shade spot and appeared to be multiple plantings.  I was hoping to get an id for it.

    Young Livistona Chinensis?

    No thorns on petiole? Probably Thrinax radiata.

    This Tracy.

    Kerriodoxa have jet black petioles and silver undersides to their leaves. Once you see one you won't confuse it with anything else.

    I have to agree with Steve.  The silver undersides and dainty size give it away.  T. Radiata is more lime green, out here, and doesn’t have silver undersides.  This was sold to me as L. Morrisii, but it looks more like T. Radiata.

    I agree with you. I have a small t. Radiata (left) and a small l. Morrisii (right).  Morrisii has a more 360 degree leaf.

    Is your morrisii silver underneath?  I’ve heard conflicting accounts, on when silver on the undersides, develops later in life - or is present in small plants.

    My radiatas are all solid green underneath. My morrisii has some silver scales underneath. 

    Top is radiata
