update Chamaedorea id

Recommended Posts

About a year ago, I asked your help in the identification of two for me unknown Chamaedorea's. There were a few answers, but no agreement. Over the last few days, I did some research and came up with the following names. The one in the first photo might be Chamaedorea adscendens, the second one Chamaedorea nationsiana. Do you think I could be right?

Regards,

Wim.

Brian, thanks for trying to help me, but I think that there is more space between the leaflets of oblongata than there is in my plant. So, for the time being, I keep my card on nationsiana.

Regards,

Wim.

C. adscendens will have tiny white speckles all over the petioles, crownshaft and trunk. Difficult to tell from the pictures, but if you see these, then that's what it is.

Wimmie - I have only seen Ch. nationsiana one time and the leaves were very smooth- your plant looks like a younger Ch. Oblongata because the leaves dont really space out until they get older and the leaves have texture to them- here are a few pics to support my theory- but again just a theory- either wqy they are both nice very nice plants and well grown
