Lanonia Hexasepala Seeds

Last year (Feb 2019) I bought some Lanonia hexasepala seeds from RPS. They still have yet to germinate but I've been told by a keen grower who has germinated these in the past they take 12 months. Ive checked on the seeds and they are still good (not rotten). I recently purchased another lot of lanonia hexasepala seeds from RPS and they are much smaller. The first batch are circular and between 5-8 mm. The second batch are also circular but between 3-5mm. Anyone have an idea of what size they are supposed to be? Curious if I have two different seeds types and if so which ones are the real deal, if any.

First batch on the left, second batch on the right.

My L hexasepala seeds haven’t germinated from last years batch either. My L dasyantha from the same order are now plants in my greenhouse.

Finally got them to sprout...First one started one week after my question above on 9 Dec. 20. Second one a month later. I've never seen or had a slower growing palm.
