Palm Experts : Need help in ID a Few More palms.

I have a few more mature palms, that I need help identifying.  I think one of the clumping ones  may be Ptychosperma. The side by side pictures are the same palm just a different view of it.

Here are my guesses:

1: Wallichia Disticha or Wallichia Oblongifolia

2: Ptychosperma Macarthurii

The first one is a clumper and essentially trunkless. It had  a very bizarre flower, that I wish I could remember so I could describe it. I agree the second one is Ptychosperma , I have microcarpum, sanderianum and shefferi listed in old list, but it might not necessarily be one of those.

First one is definitely Wallichia Oblongifolia then

@idontknowhatnametuseI agree, that was my first thought on it.  I have a smaller one here that looks totally fine after a couple of upper 20s freezes.

Oh cool!. That looks to be it. Examples of the inflorescence , that I have seen on the internet,  with the purplish enclosure are the same as when my flowers.  Thanks so much!
