How does one tell the difference between the 2 ?    Any literature on the differences in a Botanical Key would  be greatly appreciated .

 

Best wishes

True Butia Capitata are rare in the U.S. The easiest way to tell is by the trunk. B. Capitata have a much smaller diameter trunk than B. Oderata. Maybe try Palmpedia for more information. 
 Years ago ( maybe still) all Butia in most local nurseries were called Butia Capitata or Pindo Palm. In more recent times it came to be that almost all were actually B. Oderata. Harry
