can someone identify these palm seeds?

[PANGEA EXPRESS]

i got these seeds from fosters botanical garden on Oahu and didnt think to take pics of the palms i got them from. So i was wondering if anyone knows

[John in Andalucia]

Plant them and see, is what most would say. To my naked eye, I see what looks like Areca, Veitchia, perhaps Livistona and Caryota too? Presumably you can't remember the palms you saw either?

ok so i got 2 of the above palms to sprout, the veitchia sp and whatever the small oval one is on the right side

this is what i think is a veitchia but does someone know the specie?

and if anyone knows what this is? its the small oval seed to the right on the pic above.

Eric,

The Veitchia sp. is most likely Veitchia arecina (or perhaps joannis?). The second one, no idea, but a fun discovery in the making!

I thought the large one on the bottom left was an Attalea species at first, but now I'm not so sure.

The two round little tan color seeds look like Livistona sp. to me. The bottom left looks to me like Areca catechu (Betel nut palm). The small oval that you refer to looks like Roystonea sp. Good loot! Keep us updated.

The Large bottom left seed did germinate and is growing very slowly and is just a spear now. I will update pics when more characteristics show up.

Thanks for the possible identities I'm very appreciative!

here is an update of the seedlings that sprouted. the seeds are circled with a color that matches the seedling.

i know the seedling labeled with green is a veitchia but not sure the specie.

[The Silent Seed]

Just a guess - the red one looks like a Foxtail to me.

Now I'm curious,

the "green" seeds look ridiculously like the Vietchias I have germinating (last count 32 with visible sprouts). I'm curious to know what species they are, too.

Eric, was the fruit bright orange when ripe (under-ripe) on blanched white branches?

The fruit was more of a red than orange and yes the branch of the seeds was blanched white. The seedling now has its 3rd leaf and hopefully it will give more charcteristic clues.
