Thanks for sharing the ID. This particular palm caught my eye in a recent post you made and sparked my curiosity.

Pretty sure that is not Dypsis scottiana but what a beauty!

Definitely not a scottiana, looks more like a lutescens. But that grain silo on the right  or is it a palm? 🤣

[pogobob]

Definitely not lutesence. I’ve grown this palm for 30 years and it came from Rancho Soledad tagged as Affinis var scotiana.

I remember this palm floating around as Dypsis scottiana var affinis years ago. Interesting now that D scottiana is still Dypsis but this is clearly Chrysalidocarpus. I think I remember the consensus being back some time ago it is in the C albofarinosus and C psammophilus group but not exactly like either. Nice palm whatever it is. Not sure if the recent Dypsis split clarified this one, I can’t remember it being referenced during the re classification.

You’re spot on. Your memory is better than mine.

For sure it isn’t lutescens; lutescens has oblong seeds and the ones in the picture appear globose or perfectly round.

Photos of Dypsis scottiana, sourced from Floribunda. Very slender palm, trunk no larger in diameter than a fat crayon. Intrafoliar inflorescence held out to the horizontal or more erect, a very delicate look. I'm not familiar with the affinis v. scottiana (nor the reverse). Whatever you have, it's a nice palm.
