Corypha i d help

[waykoolplantz]

...heres one

A previos post here on Palmtlak has led me to believe we swapped tags on these

[waykoolplantz]

and the other

[Palmarum]

Mike,

From seeing both these palms in person, I always felt the second one with the thinner, more deeply divided segments was C. utan and the first one with the black armed margins was C. lecomtei. The large C. lecomtei trees that reside in the Peter Whalen collection in Key West have that distinctive back armed margin on the petioles. I have seen large C. utan planted in huge containers gain that white glaucous covering over time. They are both different, and will become spectacular in the coming years. Have you noticed if the second individual has been growing faster than other Corypha palms of similar size? I have always considered C. utan to be one of the faster growing species.

I agree, the second plant with the white waxy colouration and narrow leaflets is C.utan.

Ryan & Daryl...thanks for the confirmation. Thats how they're tagged...it was that post you mentioned about the distinctive back armed margin on the petioles...that induced doubt. Just for size...the petiole on the Lecomptei is about 8'.

As far as growth goes...it appears to be the slowest ..we have 4 Utans.The one pictured was planted first...but recently needed to be rescued from an overly agressive Hell-iconia, and seems to be showing signs of growth.

This is my biggest Umbraculifera, the Pritchardia to the left is about 1m tall
