Here in NZ many people (including myself) have Ceroxylon interruptum growing. If you look it up, it is not an accepted name on Kews list. In the world checklist on Palms it lists Ceroxylon interruptum as now being Klopstockia interrupta. But Klopstockia are now all Ceroxylon, so when you look up Klopstockia interrupta, it say it is now "?"

Has there been any advance on this species, does anyone know what it is now called?

I could be way off track, but my impression was that it is C. hexandrum aka C. vogellianum.

If I am right and it is vogellianum, it is better known around here as rat fodder (tears on the keyboard).

I have read that it is C. ceriferum.  I'm not sure if that is yet another synonym..

Speaking of rat fodder, I also had a rat eat one of my prized C. vogelianum seedlings.  The rat..  has been disposed of properly.   :)

Ceroxylon interruptum is an unplaced name. For all practical reasons, plants cultivated under that name are usually Ceroxylon ceriferum.

Best, TOBY
