Like pretty much everybody else said, I believe it’s a community pot of Lanceolata. Definitely not Lutescens or Pembana. Both those look different as juveniles. Even at a very young age, Lutescens are heavily speckled. Here’s a 15G I planted out 3 months ago that I hacked back a lot to only hold 3 trunks so it’s more contained. They get super full and dense with offspring if they are let to run wild. 
 

It’s time to separate those things into singles by the way. In the next few months would be a good time.

I must admit, I am nervous to separate them. I’ve killed a handful of palms trying to separate them before. Maybe I was too aggressive?
 

They were fairly rootbound in a small 6 in pot prior to this. I just reported last week. Does it handle being moved relatively well? 
What would happen if i don’t separate them? 
 

Thanks for the help everyone.

Mine was a pretty big group before my Silky Saw got involved. I bought it knowing I wanted to cut it up so I had no intention on saving anything besides a couple of the biggest “trunks”. I left a pretty big rootball and just cut the offspring off at the base and left the roots. This likely ensured the ones left had ample roots. 
 

If it was just planted, it’ll be able to dig pretty easy. I’ve moved things that were in the ground for nearly 6 months with no ill effect. 
 

If you don’t separate, it will continue to clump heavily. That’s not the look I wanted for that location.
