Best of luck with them Richard!  Thanks to Richard for making the seeds available!  I recently germinated a bunch (maybe 80+%) in comm pot and baggie using vermiculite and bottom heat.  I've already potted up several with more to do!

Thanks for sharing these around Richard. Great palm for which seed deserves not to be wasted. 
 

I’m so curious as to what this palm will be called in the future. It is so different to the ‘stiff leaf’ form which also has pointed and deeply ruminate seeds whereas this palm has drooping fronds, globose and homogeneous seeds. Funnily in Palms of Madagascar, seeds are described as pointed but homogeneous so the mystery deepens. I’d be confident that the 2 forms are distinct enough to be separated though but would be interesting to see genetic study on them. And the sp ‘bef’ or ‘slick Willy’ which seemed to get lumped into onilahensis in Palms of Madagascar but seems very different.

Thanks I put a few in myself so will see what happens next, I have germinated a few of these seeds about 5 years ago. There in my greenhouse somewhere.

You’re welcome Tim, a few sent a bit further south of you to sunny Tasmania, and a batch went to sunny Western Australia, and as you can see this lot went to Spain. And the rest went into a germinating box @happypalms. But if I remember you got some weeping form a while back, how did you go with that lot?

I actually got the ‘stiff leaf’ form from RPS with the pointed seed and V shaped leaflet arrangement. So different to the weeping form I feel like they will be separated in time but I’m no botanist. They did really well. Around 70-80% germination and slow but robust growth as seedlings. Still got a bunch after gifting and selling some. I have grown the weeping form in the past and they seemed trickier as seedlings despite their reliable growth as older plants.

For those of you who got the onilihanses seeds here’s the parent tree, a nice looking girl if I do say so myself!
