Dypsis ID Needed

[Dypsisdean]

I did it again. I was sure I would never forget, and would eventually tag this guy. It is probably a Dypsis. And as you can see, it has split already, and has a good sized heel. It also had a nice mellow blush to the new leaf. Any ideas? I have a feeling I should know, but my brain is cramping.

Kind of has that Dypsis moorei feel to it. At least that is the name given to a plant going around as it.

Thanks Len,

That could be what I bought it as. I did buy some of those that I can't find anymore. However, the first word in the description in POM is "solitary." And then goes on to mention it is "near" D. perrieri, but having a longer petiole. However, when checking D. perrieri, it also mentions "solitary," whereas in other supposed D. perrieri, and in this pic from another recent thread tentatively IDed as D. perrieri, I have seen them with multiple trunks.

There are certainly no "Vonitra" type fibers on this palm. And the petiole appears to be shorter than D. perrieri, at least as a small plant. Another Dypstery???

Dean- It does look like my Dypsis mooreii seen here:

If not, still pretty and a Dypsis, whats not to like?

Thanks Bill, the coloration looks very similar to the palm in the link you provided. However, I would still have to ask, how can these be D. moorei if they are clumping?

It also says dense understory...maybe so dense they couldn't see the other stem(s)??

But can at least be said the "palm that came in as Dypsis moorei".
