I would like to share my seeds with someone who really needs them. Price is not important.

I accept donations for the seeds. The economy sucks.

Almost certainly a Sabal minor.  Inflorescence is branched to 2 orders instead of 3 for etonia.  Inflorescence is also extended past the leaves, whereas etonia is within the leaves.  Leaves also look palmate to semi-costapalmate, as opposed to etonia being very costapalmate and covered with fibers.  Not to mention seeds size, although I collected etonia seeds that were much smaller than average this year, so that's not always a good indicator.  Just my $.02.

I am tired of wasting many years of my life realizing I was duped and sold wrong seeds and wrong plants. This was sent to me as a seedling by PAUL WITTE at PALMANIA.ES with a tag "Sabal etonia". I think he has been out of business for years now. It's a shame I've offered these seeds with a wrong tag, trusting the "professional", without knowing that. Bigfish, thank you for identifying my plant.

Inform other hobbyists if you are sold wrong seed(ling)s.

If it makes you feel any better, I think with Sabal it’s usually an honest mistake when you get an incorrectly identified plant. I’ve had seedlings turn out to be different from what I purchased as from very reliable sources. Add to all of it that there was, and still is, a bit of confusion within the genus and names that aren’t accepted are still sometimes used (eg S blackburniana, S bahamensis). 
 

By the way I agree with the above. Looks typical of S minor.
