I’m thinking this is a chamaedorea but not sure.  I planted it a long time ago. Seed and tallest stalk.  Might be clumping or just multi stemmed. 

Palm looks like Chamaedorea but fruits and infructescence don't look like ones that I am familiar with.  Chamaedorea seeds are usually spherical - are those cleaned seeds or rinsed off fruits?  The shape of some Chrysalidocarpus seeds and fruits look more like what you have.

Thanks.  Leu Gardens might be the source!  I hosted many palm meetings at my house and maybe I inherited that one!  Off to google Areca triandra.  That name doesn't look familiar with me, but who knows, I got a ton of unknowns in my yard.  Loc: South Merritt Island.

Thanks everyone for the getting the correct name.  Areca triandra it is.   Now I'm going to push the seeds into the ground in select spots and forget about them.  Maybe another palm Id post in ten years for the same palms.  😛 :P :P

@Central Floridave Here’s a pic of the Leu gardens specimen. This palm has always fascinated me due to how well it’s performed in central florida, especially for an Areca. It clearly has a decent degree of cold hardiness.

Wonder how they’d do in Southern California?

Yes, I've tried other Areca's and they never make a winter.   This one is in a very protective spot.  South side of my house and under a 200 year old Live Oak tree (plus, the microclimate of M.I. There is 3 acres of Mango around me).   

I wish someone told me the seed fruit is an irritant.  I cleaned the seeds in a bucket of water an hour ago and now my hand's wrist is all inflamed.  Not too bad just itchy, but glad I didn't scratch my you-know-whats after cleaning the seeds.  😛
