Did you see any panther chameleons in Madagascar?

Fairly certain we did. On the Travel Logs section, I posted pics from my trip. I'm still putting together the detailed trip report, hope to have that done in the next week.

Question: Is this is a Beccariophoenix? It was among a bunch of coconuts, but looks different, especially how the fronds are arranged around the trunk.

That's what I assumed when I saw it on your album, madagascariensis of course, but I'm often wrong!. Good to see the young ones brown tip even in a perfect climate!

Justin, yes, I would agree it's a B. madagascariensis. They have leaflets that are closer together than the Alfredii, and the fronds are more upright like your photo shows. Here's some we have in pots. (Sorry for the foggy phone photo quality)

Pedro, That's a gorgeous specimen! Ron Lawyer has one in SoCal that's about that size. Great species.. too bad it's so slow. Alfredii is a better palm all around...

Those are yours? That looks like Rancho Soledad Nursey plants. Where did you get those as they look great?
