This one is down the block from my place in Redland Bay. Am I guessing correctly as to what it is? They are also planted extensively in one street up in Raby Bay.

Thanks! I drove by this palm every day for about 4 months without noticing it, as the area is full of Archontophoenix and this really blended in. Two weeks ago, my brain did a "hey, wait a minute!"

Eric, no wonder you didn't notice that D. album amongst all those Archos. According to Riffle it's genetically allied to A. cunninghamiana.

I couldn't help myself and snapped a couple of photos in a nearby shopping center. These are beautiful palms.

That is a very nice looking field of palms. Thanks for posting!

Given there are probably about 100 Archontophoenix within 100m of that D. album, I wouldn't be surprised if the seed developing on there was of a bit of a mixed parentage. It would probably be very hit or miss though finding a hybrid in the mix.
