Satakentia?

I guess I will need more hints? It is really not that hard its just that the photo does not give enough clues. That is a very long leaf and the palm only puts out a few a year and holds a few compared to most.

Well, "cocosoid palm" does not equal Coccothrinax, but you did guess the genus correctly, Ken.

Does it count if I know how much you paid for it? How many points do I get if I was there when you bought it?

Alex, it can get tough keeping up with everyone's guesses and pictures--we love what you contribute to Palmtalk... I will say Dypsis(maybe lutescens?)?

Spooky palm? That photo is wild. Dypsis is my guess too but Andrew got in my mind.
