I am looking to purchase these two species from US seller(s). To be shipped to Florida. Thanks!

Naples (inland), FL - technically 10a but more like 9b in the winter :hmm:

Floribunda has Licuala Maculata seedlings for sale right now.  Kinda pricey at $12 each, but they are rare!

Yes, thank you! I don’t have the remainder of  $100 worth of palms to add to the order because I’m trying to only get plants I absolutely must have since I already have so many and don’t want to get more than I have space for! Well, I will have another look at the list. I am sure I can find some things! Haha
 


Yesterday I ordered 6 Kalimantan seeds from a UK seller on eBay. Hopefully I will have luck with them. Otherwise I will have to try importing a plant from an Indonesian eBay seller.

@Missiyes, I have that problem too.  I look at the price list and can easily find $500 in palms that would be neat to try.  Then I remember that I have ~315 palms in the ground out of almost 1000 individual plantings, and another 220 seedlings in pots.  I have to stop myself and say, "Do I really need to try Licuala Lauterbachii or Rumphii?  They look a lot like Spinosa and are a lot less cold hardy....er....maybe I don't need them!"  :D

I just bought these from there. Live in Homestead. 2-day shipping, best prices anywhere, and super quality. ***They are very young… likely years before you get a good looking Licuala :) ***

It’s a 2-person operation there, so it may take a bit to ship… but the price and quality are UNMATCHED. 

IF I haven’t blown enough smoke at them yet… this was my 4th order with them. If they have it, I don’t go anywhere else :) 
 

That said, Since you cannot meet the minimum, if you’re in Homestead in the near future, I’ll give you one. I think they’re likely the only place (aside from buying seed) selling.

UPDATE: Kalimantan has been located. Still in search of maculata. Maybe I will break down and place a Floribunda order.
