No no it's not, so I have a foxtail palm seedling(but now it died due to sunburned), and that seed just an old seed from the plant, i didn't threw it away.

Both of them?

They both are probably Ptychosperma species, maybe solitary ones. P. elegans is a strong possibility. 

If they both had a large seed, they could be Ptychococcus, mainly P. paradoxus. Are the leaves a little stiff and kinda rigid?

They are happy, healthy, and will show more of their true selves as they grow larger.

Wild guess, but my first thoughts were it could perhaps be a Veitchia of some sort. It does also look a bit like P. elegans, but the first photo appears to show much too large a seed. I'm not very familiar with Ptychococcus, so Palmarum might well be right about that.

The leaves are not really that hard actually. Maybe i'll have to wait for a few months i guess, but thanks for the information!
