unknown palms in Singapore

[doranakandawatta]

Does one Palmtalk expert (or several) agree to tell me the name of these palms I liked there but couldn't identify ?

Thanks.

Philippe

What is the second tall one? First: Carpoxylon?

Dypsis xxxx ?

Areca macrocalyx?

Is this Areca ipot?

I thought pic # 6 was Butia capitata until i opened it, now I have no idea. nice pictures!

This is actually a strange way to plant these palms, can it be any Ravanea? or do Butia grow on some river bank?

Can somebody tell about this Areca "ipot?", I collected some fruits on the floor, now they grow!

Salut Philippe. Carpoxylon in #1 -- yes, for sure. Taller palm in #2 -- I want to say Pelagodoxa henryana, but I am not certain. Photo #3 - might be lots of hybrids. I think many in this area came from Nong Nooch? #4 Don't know #5 Not sure what is going on here, very strange. #6 etc -- not macrocalyx. Areca vestiaria, I think. I cannot confirm the Areca ipot. But I am not an expert. I just love this garden, you are so lucky to see it so often.

Salut Philippe, Hi Kim, Hello Empireo22 and everybody.

I think Kim found most of them.

I agree that pic n°1 is Carpoxylon.

Pic 2: might not be Pelagodoxa, as Pelagodoxa don't have crownshaft (and have very narrow petiole and rachis). I suppose it could be a Hydriastele (maybe simply that good old beguinii, aka Siphokentia b.)

Pic 3: too many species to name them all...

Pic 4: One of those Dypsis belonging to the "Neophloga" old genus... Maybe D. pinnatifrons, although the leaflets are almost on a single plan, which seems weird. Or could it be one of the species belonging to the mangorensis/sanctamariae subgroup??? So many Dypsis, and so many variants...

Pic 5: Dypsis ampasindavae? or D. prestoniana? (just guessing...) Had the feeling this plant is also somewhere in this thread: http://www.palmtalk.org/forum/index.php?/topic/32936-dypsis-id-required/

Pic 6: Butia "toturata"????

Pic 7, 8 and 9: Agree with Kim, it must be single truncked Areca vestiaria.

Pic 10 & 11: Looks very much like Areca ipot, although there are many Areca I surely do not know and Singapore is right in the middle of the region of origin of this genus...

Hope it will help.

Thanks for these photos!

Merci beaucoup Sebastian,

If these tall palms are Hydriastele, then I am very happy since I start a Hydriastele planting in Doranakanda garden!
How is your tropical garden and collection in Canary growing? When can we enjoy new pics of your palms and plants?
Do you also have Plumeria? do you grow Plumeria stenophylla? I found plants last time in Sri Lanka and I planted 20 of them, it will be a fragrant cloud!

Kindest regards

Y'a pas d'quoi, c'est avec plaisir.

When you say "these tall palms", do you refer to the palm seen in the background of Pic n°1 and as the central one on Pic n°2?

If so, yes I think it is Hydriastele (probably beguinii), but again, I am not 100 % sure.

Concerning the palms on Pic n°3, there are many tall ones. In the background are Veitchias (difficult to say which ones, especially at that distance and because many plants in cultivation are hybrids between arecina and joannis) and also a few Wodyetias (the plumose ones).

On the left look like some Nephrosperma vanhotteanum, but again not 100 % sure.

À tout à l'heure!

Yes we grow Plumerias. There is a local cultivar here, very common, with white flowers, a yellow center, moderately fragrant, beloning to Plumeria rubra.

Looks very much like other similar frangipani I saw elsewhere, but the perfume is distinct.

One can occasionally come across other cultivars (mostly pink, red or tricolor).

I personally grow P. stenophylla (from seeds), which is slow. I also have P. obtusa,
and a few other ones of obscure origin. I love this genus and they are
amongst the easiest plant to grow (they start flowering now, while they
only stopped in december).

I mixed it all up, sorry.

I confirm Pelagodoxas don't have crownshaft, but don't read the "narrow petiole" stuff (nonsense).
