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

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!
