Guess the seed

[John hovancsek]

I am so excited to get a hand full of seed from a friend of a palm that I have been dreaming of for a while. I will take you for the journey once you guess what it is. The only clue I will give is that they have not been available for a while

IDK?  Juania australis?   Can I buy a vowel, Pat? 

[Silas_Sancona]

Lavoixia?    Lemurophoenix?

[John hovancsek]

I will give a clue ( palm in pic is not it but might be a relative ). I hope this helps

[realarch]

Hmmmmm….Wettinia?

[John hovancsek]

No. Tim, you have a few in your garden 

[mike in kurtistown]

Socratea?

[Frond-friend42]

Dicteocaryum lamarckianum,  right? If so that is very exciting. 

[John hovancsek]

Yes my friend. Dicteocaryum . I can’t believe I have a chance to grow this from seed collected here in Hawaii.

Those are glorious! 

[John hovancsek]

I got them from a friend that lives close to me. I can’t believe how good they grow at a higher elevation and hope I can give them a good home

[jimmyt]

@John hovancsek  You got a little piece of the palm lottery there!   Hope you make them grow!

Is this the correct spelling? I cannot find ANY information on this palm anywhere on the net.

Dictyocaryum is in the top 5 palms to grow for me if it were possible So what is the Palm in the picture?

[realarch]

John, I’ve never seen Dictyocaryum seed before and didn’t realize how small they were, ay to Socratea.

Adam, I’d say the palmin the first post is Iriartea deltoidea.

Socrates wants to know what's happening with his cousins, John. No action yet?

[John hovancsek]

They are doing great . It might be where I live and my internet I am having trouble downloading pics but here a a couple of them. Florabunda has a few but limited amount
