This plant is grown from a seedling collected under a Butyagrus.

It was growing in a nursery the butyagrus had been field dug and there was seeds and rubbish everywhere so its possible its just a normal queen.

For me it is very compact, and has an unusual number of strap leaves, what do the other guys think ?

It is very similar to the Syagrus R. volunteers I have coming up around my house. There is one on my hill that has been looking like yours for well over a year . It seems like forever before they get any pinate or plumose fronds . There is no telling what that is but if I were to guess , I would say a healthy Queen seedling. Harry

Aren't the Butiagrus seeds sterile?

But is the pollen sterile?

Mostly but not all; the F2 babies tend to revert back to queens in my experience.

Looks more like a queen seedling than a mule to me.  I have lots of both.

Could you do a point by point “key” comparison?

Yeah, I've talked to a few others who hybridize and have contemplated doing a backcross as well, but the consensus has always been why bother unless it's Jubaea your backcrossing too.
