Tim, it is a lovely palm. Each frond is over a metre long. Very striking.

Fly out of Borneo tomorrow with a couple of weeks in Bangkok to wander art galleries and get import paper work.

Home for 3 weeks then off to Vietnam. Missing out on the Brisbane winter!

Pritchardia martii. The leaves remind me of Copernicia. The abaxial sides are almost pure white.

I saw these two clumps of everglades palms today, and I was able to get some seeds off of them!

@Hilo Jason That’s such an elegant hybrid chrys, so thick and I love the densely leafed fronds. 

@realarch The pritchardia looks amazing. Copernicias and pritchardias do indeed look similar in sure they look great together too.

Checking seeds after getting home. Drymophleus oliviophormis from the garden is obviously making fertile seeds.
