Hi everyone. I stumbled upon this strange looking palm on google maps in Malindi, Kenya. Here's the google maps link: Silversand Road - Google Maps. If the link doesn't work, then google map search "The Gilanis Hotel".

Any idea what it is?

 

Thanks,

Hyphaene something. Hyphaene species grow up and down the Nile Delta. First one I saw, I thought it was some kind of mutant. But as we continued, there were thousands of them,

Never heard of this species ⬆️

my guess would be thebiaca or compressa depending upon trunk diameter. Compressa more stout from what I’ve seen/learned

I can’t take credit for the joke. It was @awkonradi who posted that.

Hmmm. Between H. thebaica,  H. compressa,  and H. dicotoma,  I'm leaning towards the last one.
