I believe I found a mature Livistona saribus x chinensis. It is growing along the jungle entrance drive to Sea World's Discovery Cove park.

I see the saribus in the petiole, but what makes you think chinensis? if you could get a shot of the trunk(specifically the persistent boots) we might have more discerning charicteristics to help with an ID... From what I can see, the trunk looks similar to a benthamii"s but the leaves don't. Interesting Palm-Thanks, Eric.

Yes interesting - trunk looks Benthamii, crown looks saribus and leaves look chinensis

The "knobs" on the trunk did intrigue me. I was just guessing it was a L. saribus/chinensis hybrid. The leaves sure look like L. chinensis in color and the droopy tips but with the L.saribus shark teeth. It seems that some of the Livistona can cross easily so maybe several species are involved.
