No ID Dypsis at the Zoo

No tags on this Dypsis I saw at the San Diego Zoo.  Anyone have any illuminating ideas on ID?  Alliteration always has an alluring appeal!

    Although I don’t have one nearly as large to compare with, any chance it’s oropedionis?

    What part of the zoo?

    Do you have a picture of the base?

    Heel?

    And I need to get back to the zoo soon.

    Unfortunately, I don't remember where it was and I was with family with only one of my sons very interested in stopping much to look at the plants.  So being rushed, I didn't snap additional pictures.  I did get an annual pass again so I can visit without pressure.  Funny thing was that when we got the passes, it had been exactly 20 years since we last had annual passes.  At least one son was willing to lollygag and look at plants with me (pictured with some big Macrozamias at the Zoo)!

    I think this is the same plant from a few years ago that looks like Prestoniana to me. Is it planted next to Beccariophoenix?

    My wife and I have been Zoo members for years.

    I would like to get to the zoo in March during the week. Let me know if and when you might be down there again.

    Hi all, I think it'sDypsis pilulifera was Dypsis sp. 'Jurassic Park', Matt I think that's a presto, Ed

    I didn''t remember where it was. However, when I look at photos taken just before and after I photographed it, your description matches.

    I take back what I said, I think Len is right it's a variation of D. prestoniana, Ed
