Dypsis lanceolata question

I purchased two plants of this species, a  5 gallon and a 7 gallon size, from a San Diego county vendor.  One has a fuzzy petiole and the other a smooth petiole.  The vendor acknowledged that his seed source may have been contaminated by hybridization with D. lutescens.

So, which one is the true species?   Thanks, and please post images of your true D. lanceolata.

Technical difficulties with image upload of the two petioles, I get error message   -200, even thought I downsized the images, perhaps later, thanks.   (can anyone explain this error message ?

I use a Canon point & shoot pocket camera,  I  downloaded the two images from the camera into a separate, second file, but I still get the  "-200" error message.  

Here is one I planted the other day happy gardening

All of the palms on this thread are very beautiful, I don’t think I could go wrong with any of the variations as far as appearance goes. I have a clumping Chrysalidocarpus of some sort, probably cabadi or pembanus that has been slow compared to lutescens anyway, that seems to survive the conditions of my backyard so I think this one could be worth trying for me.

@ruskinPalms Why not right? These grow really fast and you can pick up a small one very reasonably. The way I look at it is, even if it doesn't work out you get to enjoy a nice palm for awhile.

@JubaeaMan138, yeah I think mine is in the Madagascariensis complex also. Yours is growing great and looks awesome. When I was at @Hilo Jason’s a few months ago, he had what he said was Sp. Mayotte and it looked very similar to mine so that got me thinking too. Mine has grown a lot in the last year 1/2+ also. Fattened up and pushed out a baby. I see some leaf burn during the prolonged colder months. The world may never know but I’m ok with that, it’s a good grower for me. 
Photobombing Tuckeri has put on some growth also. 👍

I think that I may have a sibling of yours! Got it from Jungle Music about six months ago and it didn’t have a tag so it was an impulse buy on the hope it was a hybrid.
 

The first time I saw it they said likely a madagascarensis type so I didn’t but it but I was there a few months later and it had shot out a new frond that looked way different than before and they everyone working on the second visit said Mayotte without any hesitation. 
 

Since then it has struggled a little bit has shot out a mini sucker and every other leaf seems to look either Lanceolata or Madagascarensis so I still have no clue but it does seem to look a little like yours but smaller. My guess is Madagascarensis x Langeolata.

Figured I’d chime in to share mine. I got this from Joe Palma as lanceolata x lutescens. Not sure why I was kinda doubtful for a while but the leaf structure reminds me of lanceolata yet has narrower leaflets like lutescens so it may very well be what it was sold to me as. Sounds like @Darold Petty got his from Joe as well? Curious to see how yours is looking nowadays, Darold. Would love to see a recent photo if you have one.

Billy, I.concluded that my microclimate was too cool, and I no longer have this species.

I think the match to yours is pretty close to the one I have, but I have no idea what it is also. My guess is the same as yours Lanceolota x madagascarensis. Definitely a fast grower for sure,  get that thing in the ground and see if it explodes. That is weird the leaflet from old looks thin and the second is wide, see what the next one will look like. Good growing!
