    Similar to my Venezuelan (Oleracea ) in size of crown shaft but hard to tell. Mine is full sun and yours looks to be more shade. HarryIMG_3651.thumb.jpeg.63e97bdef207d61470f4bb4534febc18.jpeg

    That looks like oleracea to me. They have a flatter leaf arrangement than regia, and can get that purple hue to the crownshaft. I had a really nice trunking one in my Perth garden and it looked identical to your one.

    Regia are a very common palm around here and your palm has obvious differences.  I thought violacea at first but they have always been hard to find so I will go with the crowd and say oleracea.
