An interesting little batch of seedlings, seeds kindly donated by @palmtreesforpleasure it will be an interesting palm to grow for sure! 

Richard I had them!😥

Another one I’ve never heard of! Nice looking , probably a shade lover. Harry

It's like a Chamaedorea oblongata but it clumps. One of my favorites.

They are a new variety for me, none in the ground as of yet. I had no idea they clump so thanks for grow tip! 

Fast growing as seedlings.

Mine are similar size to yours, I'm guessing from the same batch of Colins seed. Looking forward to finding out how they grow down here in the freezer.

Most likely the same seed batch, it will be interesting too see how it goes in the freezer. It will either die in the cold or grow for you. No in between.

This is another species shrouded in mystery. It’s currently accepted as a species by Kew. It’s described as a solitary species and I’d never heard reference to it being a clumped until this thread. There has been suggestion that it is the same as C pinnatifrons or a variant of that species. I know that my small seed batch from Colin was larger seed than C pinnatifrons which are the smallest Chamaedorea sp seed I’ve come across. My 2 plants from that batch are now a bit over 3 years old and beginning to look like their adult forms so hopefully soon I’ll be able to tell what they’ll turn out to be.@Tyrone are you still growing this?

Hello Tim,are you deciding that C pinnatifrons seeds are very small? if yes,I received 10 seeds from RPS,they are so small,that I thought they are not fertile?

Very small. The fruit is described as 9x11mm. I haven’t seen a description of the seed, but typically for Chamaedorea the seed is much smaller than the fruit.

It’s a species totally new to me, so I know nothing about them, and from what iam reading about here with its close resemblance to other chamaedoreas just puts it in the too hard basket to really make sense of it all. With new DNA testing and high powered microscopes modern technology has turned a lot of old palm varieties into new varieties.
