A new book about Ponta Delgada's Jardim António Borges includes a photo from 1850 that appears to show some type of Roystonea... The original plant records from the garden list 50 different types of palms. Given that only about a dozen different types now exist, I wonder what else grew there before. Time to go to library to investigate! 

On the other hand, I just picked a batch of Hyophorbe verschaffeltii seeds (perhaps a little too late in the season) and hope some are viable for a little experiement!

I visited São Miguel, Terceira, Pico, São Jorge and Faial a couple weeks ago and was really impressed with the landscape and fauna.

I noticed these palm trees on the southeastern coast of Pico. Any idea what they are?
