Name this palm game

[sarasota alex]

Tom it looks a lot like an Astrocaryum. But since you already said No, Aiphanes sp. would be my next guess

[Tomw]

Nope....

Hint: These pictures are of the tree’s it in habitat, not here in Florida.

good try but no..

[sarasota alex]

The habitat looks Neotropical. So for that reason I'm going with Manicaria saccifera as my next guess

I think you've got it!

You are correct! There are more pictures of them in my post about my trip to Belize in the Travel Logs section.

[Mandrew968]

Yeah, that moss all over those trunks wouldn't be indicative of Florida...

[Ken Johnson]

Is this pic big enough?

[Mandrew968]

I will start by saying it looks to be a cocosoid...

[John in Andalucia]

Is it rare? We need clues.

A bigger picture would help, Ken.

[sarasota alex]

Syagrus botryophora?

[Ken Johnson]

So far so good is the hint B) . Keep trying though.

[Ken Johnson]

It is rare to be growing where it is natively

[Ken Johnson]

I think this hint is correct. It is the only syagrus found outside of South America.

[sarasota alex]

S. amara

[Ken Johnson]

S. amara

And IMO the prettiest of the genus. You got it Alex.

Next?

[sarasota alex]

How about this one

Bump!

[Ken Johnson]

How about this one

A Pinanga?

[sarasota alex]

Pinanga simplicifrons?

no

Ken I think it is a Pinanga of some kind. Bruce responded with a smiley face to my Pinanga simplicifrons guess last week.

[Ken Johnson]

no

We will need to give Bruce a jingle and see what he says.

[John in Andalucia]

I'd bet compost on it being a Pinanga. P.coronata would be my most obvious guess.

[Lowey]

Sorry people I have been away again, it is

Hydriastele beguinii Obi Island form

[Ken Johnson]

OK Bruce, I was going there but some how got lost.

Here is one that may be a stumper.

Aiphanes minima?

[virtualpalm]

Hey, Ken. Could be Acrocomia, Aiphanes, Bactris, or Gastrococos.... hard to tell. If I had to guess, though, I would say A. aculeata.

Well the good news is the shotgun blast hit the target. Bad news is, wrong choice.

[Lowey]

Bactris gasipaes ??

[Walter John]

I'm leaning to Acrocomia, but not too hard a lean, he he, get it?, ah, doesn't matter.

[Ken Johnson]

I believe it is called Acrocomoia now.

[Walter John]

[Mandrew968]

It's a cuban belly

[virtualpalm]

I believe it is called Acrocomoia now.

My next guess was going to be Gastrococos... a.k.a. Acrocomia crispa.

BTW, is the latter now an accepted name, or is there some controversy?

Jody

[virtualpalm]

I came across this nursery the other day and had to snap a photo... but didn't feel that it justified starting a new topic. Yellow queen palms, anyone?!

Jody

[Ken Johnson]

I figured I would bump this with a new one. This palm is easy but with all these hits I am sure it will help some lurkers learn some more ID hints.

[John in Andalucia]

^{Chambeyronia macrocarpa}

[Ken Johnson]

^{Chambeyronia macrocarpa}

No , but can I ask you a question John? Why is your print so small?

[John in Andalucia]

Hmm.. didn't notice. The WYSIWYG editor got the better of me.

my guess is burretiokentia, either vieillardii or hapala, and I am thinking hapala
