Hi all,

I bought this palm as L. nitida but after seeing some photos of actual ones I am doubtful. Any thought?

Mine has green petioles, yours seem to be green and maroonish.

And the ramenta or whatever on yours is dark.

Mine seem to be whiteish.

Was yours bought from a reliable source...

Accidents happen though, plus I'm sure they hybridize like mad if other Livistonias are around...

Photo 2, which happens to be focused on your gravel, is the one that could clear it up for us... :drool:
