Another unknown variety. I know it’s tough and dry tolerant that’s about it. 

Palmate, thorny with a bit of gloss to the leaves. One of your local Livistonas?

Richard, it looks like my Acoelorraphe wrightii only not as glaucous.  Very drought tolerant and loves water!  Mine just started suckering but you can't see it in the photo.

I kind of thought that when I spotted the sucker coming up, but I don’t remember purchasing seeds of that variety. I did purchase cocothrinax seeds around that time I remember, but it’s not a cocothrinax, so my source of seed supplier may have gotten it wrong iam led to believe! Which does happen a lot in the palm seed industry.

It does look like Livistona , but with a pup …. ? Hmmm🤔  Harry

no livistona, no acoelorraphe wrightii,

I do remember getting cocothrinax seeds, but that’s were it ends, and the sucker puts an end to cocothrinax species. The plot thickens.

Hi gyuseppe, Sabal species but they don’t sucker either,!

Yes Richard, the leaf of the sucker is the same as sabal, could they be 2 plants that instead of one? Maybe there were 2 seeds in the pot ?

With the suckers, I'll agree with Acoelorraphe, also spiny.

It has to be what else is out there that matches it.

the leaves of the acoelorrhaphe suckers are not that wide

It has some characteristics of a Chamaerops Humilus . Harry

yes

My first thought was Acoelloraphe. They are variable in terms of colour especially when small. Don’t you have a mature clump in your garden setting seed @happypalms? Any chance this came from that somehow?

I can’t quite put my finger on what it is about it, but I don’t think Chamaerops. Maybe the fronds are too full/not deeply divided enough? Leaf bases also look a little off to me to be Chamaerops. All this being said, I’m not 100% confident on ID.

Hi Tim I do have a clump with seeds but I never put any in to germinate. I do remember getting a few seeds from a traveling salesman so to speak who said they were cocothrinax but that seems to be phoey. So iam still lost,  I don’t think Acoelorrhaphe as well the colour and leaf shape, plus the thorns are more deadly on Acoelorrhaphe. Perhaps I shouldn’t have traded the cow for the magic bean seeds after all, those travelling salesman after all can be a bit doggie.
