Someone here would like to see how and, here you are satisfied, I didn't breed it and it was born on its own, on the 2nd leaf I saw that it was different from a normal radicalis

    Are the undersides of the leaf silvery ? My C. Radicalis vary from plant to plant . Most are pretty predictable , but they can be different. Harry

    No Harry, the underside of the leaves is not silver, trust me, it's a hybrid I've been growing Chamaedorea radicalis since the late 80s.

    The first Chamaedorea radicalis in Italy were made by a friend of mine with the seeds of Inge Hoffman who managed the seed bank, she collected them in Dick Douglas' garden

    What traits of the other half, namely the microspadix, are apparent? Does it sucker?

    It has wider pinnules, no none of my hybrids have suckers

    I believe you , the leaflets certainly look wide for Radicalis . Is this a hybrid from Tree Form? Harry

    That is a lovely hybrid . We had a guy that did hybrids and I once purchased a Chamaedorea Potutalensis/ Elatior hybrid . Within 6 months it started taking over my shade house! The palm was like “ Jack and The Beanstock” ! It was beautiful but way bigger than I wanted so I managed to get it in my pick up truck and rehome it over the hill to my mentor’s jungle . The fronds were large , like Tepejelote , and it grew along the sides of the shade house . It pushed everything aside as it traveled along . I’ve never had a palm grow like that! Harry

    sounds like this was a naturally occurring hybrid. Any attempt to do manual cross pollination in the past?

    Yes, I hybridized radicalis x microspadix, producing about 10 seeds, all of which sprouted. The seeds were small.

    I hybridized microspadix x radicalis, producing only 3 seeds, but all 3 sprouted.

    It's a shame I lost almost everything while I was in the hospital.
