Dear Friends

Thanks for the assistance...

Coccothrinax barbadensis

So i presume then the palm that i bought is a C.Barabadensis ! Thanks Chalermchart Soorangura.

Lots of love to you all,

Cocothrinax leaflets grow the whole way around the radius, at least barbadensis does. I'd rule that out.

The absolute "sure thing" that distinguishes the two genera is whether the petioles split (Thrinax) or do not split (Coccothrinax) where they attach to the trunk.

Dear Wal & Dear Jody

Thanks very much for the assistance,And i need little time to take new stills of that palm & upload it to our palmtalk server.i.e more close up's regarding the splitting of the fronds section that meets the trunk.

And i must say dear Meg said the same thing to me,when i contacted her about this palms I.D

Thanks & Love,

Hi Kris, here's one of my Cocothrinax barbadensis I have growing. Note the leaflets meet in a circle once fully formed.
