Palm is finally trunking, ID please

[cagary]

Planted this palm years ago, tag is long gone. Can someone please ID?

Maybe Chrysalidocarpus loucoubensis. Does it throw a reddish new frond?

[cagary]

Thanks for your reply. No, it doesn't throw a reddish new frond. I got it from Jeff Marcos; I don't know if he has ever offered that palm from his Florabunda Nursery.

Dypsis lucubensis is an old name for the solitary form of Chrysalidocarpus madagascarensis.  I have one and the trunk looks similar but fronds look different than that one.

Chrysalidocarpus loucoubensis was formerly known as Dypsis ampasindavae. Very different to C madagascariensis (D lucubensis).

Yep I’m very confident it’s C loucoubensis. Here’s the description on palmpedia which is taken from the palms of Madagascar description of D ampasindavae. Short to absent petiole, pale green crownshaft with some wax and pendulous leaflets are the traits that stand out to me.
