I went hiking up Mount Makiling and saw this amazing palm at the entry point to the mountain.

I think it's a native species but I have no idea what it is.

It had seeds but they weren't ready for harvesting yet-- darn it!!!

I was hoping to see more of it up in the mountain but there weren't any or maybe I just didn't spot them

I'm gonna guess Marojeyjia insignis, but don't hold me to it.

Or it reminds me of an Asterogyne I saw in the conservatory at the Huntington.

I think Matty's got it. Maybe Asterogyne spicata?
